If there was one thing expected from Massimiliano Allegri when he was brought back to the Milan bench in May, it was the chance for the Rossoneri to regain balance and a solid defensive phase. Today, after four official matches, three of them in Serie A, with only two goals conceded overall, it is fair to say the work of the ex Juventus coach is already well underway.
It should be noted that the only real big match so far was the last one against Bologna, where Milan did not concede. The solidity still needs to be tested consistently against tougher challenges, which will arrive soon.
In any case, for now, Milan enjoys a strong defensive run that has rightly been praised in recent days. QS also highlights this, and dedicated a commentary piece this morning. The sports daily writes:
"Allegri has found the right keys. The turning point: Milan’s defense locked down."
The subtitle adds: "They are the team that has allowed the fewest shots in Serie A. The coach is suspended for one match, he will miss Udinese." Milan also comes off two straight clean sheets in the league.
