With about 10 rounds of the league remaining, the title race in Serie A this season has entered a "white-hot" stage. Compared with the other leagues in Europe's five major leagues, serie A has almost become the only league with greater suspense. From the perspective of the situation of the championship competition, the three teams have formed a stalemate, and it is still unknown who will die in this season's league championship. However, for AC Milan, because the team has missed the league title for many years in a row, both from the team side and from the fans, there are full expectations for the final championship podium this season.
However, judging from the situation in the standings, AC Milan is not the most advantageous team compared to the other two direct competitors. Of the 27 games that have been played this season, Pioli's side have won 17 with a 63% win rate. In the remaining 10 games, they all missed all three points, only 6 draws and 4 defeats. For a team aiming to win the championship, such performances make it difficult for them to finally achieve their goals. Pioli needs to increase the team's winning percentage by at least 2 percentage points to around 65%. At the end of all the games of the season, AC Milan needs to have between 24 and 25 wins. That is to say, in the remaining 11 games of the team, they need to win at least 7 games before they can hope to finally taste the taste of the championship. Otherwise, what awaits them is likely to be an embarrassing ending without a chance to win the championship.
From the perspective of the schedule, AC Milan will usher in a very important strong dialogue in the next round. The match against Napoli will largely determine the team's final result this season. From the standings, AC Milan has the same points as their opponents, but they are in third place due to the disadvantage of goal difference, and the point difference behind the top of the table is 1 point. If they can beat their opponents in this game, they will lead their opponents by 3 points and lead the table again. But if they can't win, or even get defeated by their opponents, then their situation will become very unoptimistic. Fortunately, after this game, AC Milan will have a very ideal schedule. They play five consecutive games against teams in the bottom ten of the table. Arguably, this fixture will almost be AC Milan's "last attempt" this season. If they can win consecutively, there is even hope of "doing their best" and locking up the league title this season in advance. However, if the performance is sluggish and there is no win in a row, it is also likely to be out early.
From the player side, Ibrahimovic is about to recover from injuries again, which will give the team a great incentive. In terms of statistics, Ibrahimovic still has the most goals scored in the league this season, and if you consider the number of appearances, he is also the most efficient. Judging from the performance on the field, Ibrahimovic's strategy and fulcrum ability are still quite outstanding, especially in the retreat of the midfield to organize the attack, he still has an irreplaceable role. During Ibrahimovic's absence due to injury, Giroud also showed good goal efficiency. But objectively speaking, the French striker is still a significant gap between Ibrahimovic and Ibrahimovic in terms of his tactical role against the team, and he has been unable to score in 4 consecutive games. Therefore, Ibrahimovic's return from injury in the closing stage is still very much worth looking forward to.
However, from the overall situation of the team lineup, there are still obvious problems with the team's attack on the right side. At right-back, Calabria and Florenzi's contributions on the offensive end are relatively average, but they win with balanced abilities and high morale, so they are both solid in their positions within the team. It is reported that AC Milan intends to enforce the buyout clause at the end of the season, thus keeping Florenzi in the team. However, in the position of right winger, Salmachus and Messias still have a relatively obvious gap from the requirements of the team's main players. According to Italian media, AC Milan is focusing on a top right winger, he is Di Maria. This season, the Argentina international was unable to secure a main position in the squad, starting 14 times in the league, but still scoring three goals and delivering three assists to his teammates. In terms of competitive form, although it is 34 years old, Di Maria still maintains a very high standard. If AC Milan can sign him, it could be an epic signing.
In addition, at left-back, Barlow Toure has not shown the ability to be a standing player this season, scoring only 6.45 points per game in the league. AC Milan still need to find a better rotation player for Special Olympics. According to the Milan sport newspaper, Fabiano Parisi, who plays for Empoli, has been added to Maldini's reinforcement list. The 21-year-old talented full-back has a lot of potential and has already attracted the attention of several teams, but he is worth only 3.5 million euros.
