AC Milan have been drastically different since Massimiliano Allegri’s arrival in the summer, and the changes show.
When Allegri was hired, there were certainly questions about how much Milan could improve. After all, the squad was a bit messy, whilst the budget and points total required a lot of work. Yet, the Livorno-born coach has made things work.
Allegri’s inspiration
The mercato certainly left things to be desired, yet the Rossoneri look better than they ever did last year, and the stats show this. As MilanNews recalls, at this point last year, Sergio Conceicao’s team had 15 fewer points in Serie A.
It is, then, an ‘incontrovertible fact’ that the Italian has had the impact that the Diavolo hoped for. After all, he was appointed due to his history of success and experience in the top flight, which the club have been missing.
The team is very much Allegri-inspired and the win against Pisa showed this, even if there were a few elements that were anti-Allegri, such as the equaliser.
Nevertheless, a hard-working team that are focused on their goal with leadership across the pitch is what you come to expect from one of his teams. Defensively, they are more solid, and it all falls back to the team’s mentality, where everyone needs to contribute to results in every phase of play.
