the Italian newspaper Il Quotidiano Sportivo, in this morning's print edition, ran the following headline about the AC Milan team:
"A new Devil shaped by Max, a rock-solid defense and a lethal attack. Now the Coppa Italia is the target."
After the opening defeat against Cremonese, the Rossoneri have put together three straight wins without conceding. Allegri has focused heavily on the defensive phase at the start of the season, knowing he has quality players up front who can decide matches at any moment.
On Sunday, Napoli will visit San Siro, a real test for Allegri’s side, but first comes the Coppa Italia round of 32 tomorrow night at home against Lecce. "It is one of our seasonal goals," the Milan coach had said in mid-August on the eve of the round of 64 against Bari.
