This is where AC Milan could profit from a Europe-less season, and whilst the schedule is difficult, it is not impossible to navigate.
When this season began, the frustration of not being in Europe was certainly tangible. However, with the Scudetto being possible, this is where it could actually be a boost to Milan.
Hard, but not the hardest
Over the next few weeks, the Rossoneri will be tested massively, as they have five games in 18 days. A ridiculous way for the fixtures to fall, but Massimiliano Allegri will not complain. Instead, he will pick up his socks, as Gazzetta dello Sport write.
It’s Genoa on Thursday, and then Fiorentina on Sunday evening. On the 15th, Como await, whilst Lecce and then Roma follow. Three away from San Siro and two at home, if it were flipped, maybe it’d be slightly nicer. There is too little time to complain, though.
Saying that, though, the schedule actually looks favourable for Milan, thanks to European competitions. Inter face Napoli in the same timeframe, and then both have difficult fixtures in the Champions League, which will demand perfect rotation.
Juventus and Roma could also struggle thanks to their European and cup commitments. In other words, whilst it is difficult for the Rossoneri, it may be more difficult for everyone else.
