As the season's five major leagues have entered the final stage, the championship competition in various leagues has also entered a white-hot situation. In Serie A, AC Milan already had the advantage of position, whether in terms of team momentum or in the competitive state of the team, they look very champions. However, in the sprint stage, they made another mistake, although this mistake did not make them lose the top position for the time being, but the lead has been significantly reduced. More importantly, if competitors get back in shape, AC Milan's title situation will become very unoptimistic. For AC Milan fans who have been looking forward to a season, this is not a situation they want to see.
And, from the perspective of the schedule, AC Milan really can't be too optimistic. In the next game, they will also face a number of teams at the top of the standings. These teams are quite strong, and AC Milan has no certainty of winning. For Pioli and his players, they should not focus too much on the standings now, but should make every effort to adjust the team's competitive state and treat every game as if it were the last. Otherwise, just pay attention to the standings and the situation of the opponent, even if the opponent makes mistakes, loses points, and in the case of poor form, it is difficult to seize the opportunity to establish an advantage. However, in any case, Pioli's team still plays the role of "front-runner", and the initiative to win the championship is still in his own hands. According to optimistic expectations, AC Milan fans can still expect the "double" of the league and the Coppa Italia at the end of the season.
Judging by the performance of the team this season, AC Milan unfortunately missed some of the expected victories against some teams of fairly average strength. From the process point of view, when playing against these opponents, the team will invariably occupy a very obvious advantage in the scene, but the final result is often "invincible" and has no chance to win. Imagine if AC Milan could have won two more games against the mid-level and lower-tier teams, they would probably have already been "riding the dust" in the standings. The reason why the team has this situation is mainly due to the lack of scoring ability of the front line. In the league, although they are in third place in terms of goals, they are tied for as many as 4 teams in this position. Considering the team's positioning to win the championship this season, this offensive efficiency is a very intuitive indication that the team has not come up with a convincing enough performance on the offensive end.
From the player's point of view, as the main reliance on the team's front line, Ibrahimovic has worn out his form in the continuous injury. He has been out of the woods in seven consecutive games. For the 40-year-old veteran, although the team still has the idea of renewing his contract, objectively speaking, the two sides may be a more reasonable choice to separate after the season. Ibrahimovic can still play other roles in the team, continuing to play a role in dressing room management, motivating players, and mentoring young players. In addition to Ibrahimovic, Giroud's scoring efficiency has also declined after a period of excellent performance. However, his poor performance is related to the excessive physical exertion of the national team competition, and after further recovery, he is still the main scoring point of the team in the center line of the remaining schedule. In addition to these two veterans, other players in the front line, including Leo, have contributed quite limited to the team's goals. Pioli had to find a way to improve his team's goalscoring ability.
In the back line, although the team also lost some of its main players due to injury, the team's combat effectiveness was not significantly weakened due to the sudden emergence of Kalulu and others. However, Florenzi's injury could have an impact on the right-back rotation. With him unable to play and Kalulu fixed in the centre-back position, in the right-back position, Calabria will have no rotating players and will have to "fight hard" alone. This would be an uncertainty for the backline. However, in the reinforcements of the back line, AC Milan has achieved decisive results. According to the Echo, ac Milan have beaten other rivals in the transfer competition of Dutch international Botman and reached an agreement with Lille. It is reported that in order to sign this capable centre-back player, the team will pay a transfer fee of 33 million euros. It is also AC Milan's first signing for next season.
In addition, at Inter Milan, they have re-entered the title race. However, as the team's financial situation is still not ideal, they may have to continue to sell some of their main players after the end of the season. According to Sport to Turin, although the team intends to renew its contract with Škriniar before the end of the season, it is still possible to choose to sell the defensive core player if they receive a suitable offer.
