Massimiliano Allegri’s mark on this Milan team is becoming more visible. In the Rossoneri dressing room, the coach from Livorno is viewed as a leader to follow, "an experienced and winning manager who knows how to push the right buttons to improve players and get results," wrote 'Corriere dello Sport'. The words match the facts, as the team follows his instructions on the pitch and respects every decision. The victory over Roma proved it.
Better rhythm, even in direct clashes:
Allegri’s touch on Milan shows most in their performances, with a clear difference from last season, especially in big matches. After ten games, Milan have seven more points than they did at this stage last year, with six wins, three draws, and one loss in the opening round against Cremonese.
Milan’s record in direct clashes is also stronger. In the first four this season, they have taken eight points (against Napoli, Juventus, Atalanta, and Roma), eleven if you add the win over Bologna—six more than they had in the same fixtures last season (against Lazio, Inter, Juventus, Napoli, and Atalanta).
