Currently, AC Milan of Stefano Pioli is first in the standings in Serie A with 46 points. The Rossoneri are at +2 on Inter of Antonio Conte, a +6 on Roma of Paulo Fonseca and +7 on Juventus of Andrea Pirlo. But, the bianconeri have one match less than the others.
The newspaper Tuttosport today explained how, in the world of football, tables are seen as smoke in the eyes of professionals because, notoriously, “they bring bad luck”. But this time, while clinging to all the amulets in the world, Milan cannot fail to take advantage of the situation that will arise in these weeks.
The Rossoneri, in fact, have two relatively simple games, at least on paper. They will face Crotone at San Siro and, subsequently, will visit La Spezia. Objective of Milan, of course, is to make 6 points out of 6 and then go to the derby next February 21 at an altitude of 52 points in the ranking of Serie A.
It was with the victory of the derby in the first half of the league, when the escape of the Rossoneri at the top of the championship began. Milan has no intention of stopping. Over the past few weeks, Inter have repeatedly hoped to catch up or overtake the Rossoneri, but so far they have not succeeded. Not even when Milan lost against Juventus and Atalanta, given that the Nerazzurri first got beaten by Sampdoria and then only drew in Udine. Probably, Inter will try again in the next direct match in Serie A hoping that, in the meantime, Milan would not run further away.
