This season's Serie A title competition is quite fierce, and the top position in the table is also "you sing I debut", which has changed hands several times. Judging from the current situation, AC Milan and Inter Milan are still the most powerful contenders for the championship this season. With only one win in the last six games and only five points, Napoli have slipped to fourth place, but also seem to be showing signs of falling behind. Relatively speaking, Atalanta has shown quite good form, having gone unbeaten in 10 consecutive league games and winning 9 of them. However, from the perspective of the overall strength of the team, there is still a relatively obvious gap between them and the Milan duo.
Objectively speaking, AC Milan has not been in an ideal state in the past period. In the last 6 games, Pioli and his players have only won 2 games, and the other 4 games have a record of 2 draws and 2 losses. In the league table, AC Milan have been overtaken by their city rivals Inter Milan, temporarily ending their task as leaders. Moreover, they have only 2 points left to lead the third-place team, and if the team still can't quickly adjust to the status, even after the next round of matches at the earliest, the second place in the table will not be preserved. And if they are pulled apart in the middle of the season, then with the depth of AC Milan's squad, it will be quite difficult for them to dig a "hole" before filling in the second half of the league. Therefore, for AC Milan, even if they can't get back to the top position in the short term, they must catch up with their opponents in front of them in terms of points.
Judging from the schedule of the next few games, AC Milan face no small challenge, they will continue to usher in strong opponents. In the next round, they will have a strong dialogue with Napoli. Although the opponents did not perform well during this time, and several of the main players suffered injuries, the combat effectiveness of this team can not be underestimated. In particular, AC Milan are not at their best, so they must play with the spirit of twelve points to cope, once they lose the game, the team is not only likely to fall to the fourth place, but also may be taken advantage of by the team in front of them to open the point gap. They will then challenge Empoli on the road. The latter has been quite good this season, finishing seventh in the table. Pinamonti in particular is in excellent form in the centre position, scoring six league goals. After that, AC Milan will return home to welcome Roma. Mourinho's team is not in a good position, they urgently need to regain their form, and AC Milan's victory is also difficult.
From the perspective of the team's lineup, AC Milan also needs to make corresponding reinforcements to ensure the competitiveness of the team in the championship competition. In the midfield position, Casey and Benacell will leave the team next month for the African Cup of Nations, Bakayoko due to shortcomings in the ball, as well as the lack of technical ability and physical fitness to insert the attack, the performance has not improved, Clunic's performance at the back is not ideal, so when Casey and Benacell leave the team, there is only Tonari left as a back player who can play the main force. According to transfer expert Daniele Longo, AC Milan hopes to recall Adélie early in the winter break. The 21-year-old young midfielder has excellent passing skills and has contributed 1 goal and 5 assists this season, doing well. However, his ability on the defensive end is more average, and AC Milan still needs a midfielder who is similar to Casey's offensive and defensive midfielders. Kamala is a good choice, but AC Milan face a lot of competitive pressure.
At centre-back, AC Milan also need to reinforce as quickly as possible. Romagnoli's contract extension has come to a standstill again, as AC Milan seems to be hesitant again about whether to keep Romagnoli because of the bad form of the past period. If Romagnoli's future is uncertain, in the case of Kyard's injury, AC Milan will need to find a suitable reinforcement target as soon as possible. According to DiManio, Chelsea centre-back Rudiger is already at the top of AC Milan's list of signings. The Danish international's contract with the team is about to expire, but the renewal has not progressed, and it seems that he has a good chance of leaving the team. This season, Christensen, as the team's main centre-back, has played a very high level, and his value in the transfer market has reached 35 million euros.
In addition, at Inter Milan, they have successfully reached the top of the league table after winning five consecutive league games. Lautaro Martinez in the front line is in excellent form, scoring five goals and delivering 1 assist in the last 4 league games. However, due to the less than ideal state of another striker, Inter also hopes to continue to recruit in the front. According to the Bergamo Post, Inter want to sign Atalanta centre-forward Muriel. The Colombia international has contributed with 2 goals and 4 assists in the league this season. It is reported that if Inter Milan can offer 20 million euros, then they can sign the capable goalscorer. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
