There were about forty hours to process the overtaking at the top by Inter, but today Milan is called to take back the first position of the Serie A standings, also to push away Juventus again, who are approaching the top. There is also Atalanta, Roma, and Napoli, to escape from, none of which yesterday won.
In short, as reported by the edition this morning of Il Corriere della Sera, the pressure on AC Milan is great, also because today at San Siro there will be an opponent widely within reach, on paper the most affordable of all, given that Crotone coached by the former Rossoneri player, Giovanni Stroppa, is the last of the class and has never won away from home so far.
In view of what has been said above, therefore, this afternoon the Rossoneri of Pioli must avoid the most classic trap. We are at the first key junction of the season, also because the calendar leading to the derby puts Milan in front of two newly promoted, Crotone today and Spezia in six days and Milan want to win both of them to get to the derby in front of Inter.
This afternoon Milan will have the eyes of all their opponents, but so far they have almost always shown that they do not suffer what Mourinho called "the noise of the enemies".
