After four matches out, Christian Pulisic is back available for Milan and Massimiliano Allegri for the delicate trip to Parma. The American will not start, lacking full match fitness, but he could prove very useful during the game, especially if things do not go well for his team.
Winning tonight is the only thing that matters, also because with three points Allegri’s side would leap to the top of the standings, at least for one night. On this, 'Corriere della Sera' headlined this morning:
"Milan, overtaking operation."
Meanwhile, Allegri said the following in the latest press conference ahead of facing Parma:
"The standings? We’re only at matchday ten. Over the years, I’ve learned that the first six months are preparation for the final sprint, so they must be done well. In March, we must be in top condition to fight for the top four. The road is long. We also need short-term goals, which are the matches we play. Tomorrow is a short-term goal to improve our position and stay close to the top."
