The calendar is a friend, here at home because of the Rossoneri with Samp was welcomed. Is it not happened, but the team has shown to be well and have now found one of his physiognomy. The coach points to reach the break with a substantial lead over second
GENOA - "I'm glad the team has character and I like it" (Galliani). It's been one of the best games of our season, I am satisfied (Allegri). Great game, we can get to the bottom with the first place (Thiago Silva). We must continue on this road (Abbot). We gave everything and we're always first in the championship (Nesta). Rarely a tie that looks like a victory not so much as the AC Milan 1-1 Sampdoria at home, is greeted with such phrases. But the awareness of the team that it was still above the opponent, from a technical and physical, than the disappointment of the result. And the statistics - Sampdoria has lost only once this season at Marassi, that even without Cassano remains a difficult area to break (and to walk on, because of the bumpy) - provides encouraging data to other leaders, in league prospect.
RECORD NOVEMBER - the month that ended the trip to Genoa football club has been the most profitable for Allegri, from every point of view. The numbers are clear: 7 games (5 in the league, 2 in the Champions League, third at the San Siro and 3 off, plus the derby for the timetable has played for Inter in the house), 5 wins, 2 draws, no losses, collected 13 goals and 6. But most importantly it is indicative of the outcome of tactical turn inaugurated in Bari, on 3 November after a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid. Since a bit necessity (Pirlo's injury) and a little choice (for declassification Ronaldinho reserve), was born with three median formula, AC Milan has won five times on six occasions and in the last four after a single goal, to Pazzini in Marassi, and scored 5 increasingly allowing very few opportunities to opponents. It's the sign of an identity by now clear: the priority of the defensive almost zero risk to Abbiati and reverses the trend of the creative team and a little butterfly last season and the first months of the current one.
PRESSING AND RUNNING - The tactical pragmatism, which turn up their nose to the aesthetes, rests on two elements that the game of Genoa has made very clear. Even when faced with a team deployed to defend themselves, and then voted to run and play physical, and despite the effort of the many commitments we deal more or less close with the same training, the Milan is more than just the level of race and contrasts with a small, fatal decline in the first 25 of the recovery, more mental than anything else: the advantage, after a very intense first half, led the laxity that led to the diversion of the corner like Pazzini and the occasion of the blow the wellhead, foiled by Abbiati. But since then the Samp was once again crushed. The mark of Allegri is the pressing, that every game is brought more and more close to the opponent: win the ball so far ahead is to reduce the risks to defend and increase the chance of reaching the draft with two or at most three steps.
ESCAPE IN A CHRISTMAS - It's not the goal stated in Milanello: meet, before the Christmas break, with a substantial advantage over the latter. The calendar is apparently favorable Brescia and Bologna at home away from home. Then, on 19, there will be the last round of 2010 at San Siro, with what, in the tradition of hand, is considered the decisive battle of the fortunate years: the challenge with Roma. For technical and quality media, the staff believes the Rossoneri the most dangerous opponent. The dissertation also suggestive of Thiago Silva is then not considered so far-fetched: If we had beaten Sampdoria and we stayed first in the standings, ahead of the second time, we might have dropped a bit in upcoming games. Instead, after the tie, we will remain focused, thanks to the team spirit we have. The unknown is the amount of energy required by the formula based on the pressing tactics. The other question - Ibrahimovic never rests and Robinho is also becoming indispensable - will be resolved in January, with the return of Pato and the arrival of a bit, to mitigate the effects of the absence of the irreplaceable Inzaghi, the man of impossible situations.
