Judging from the performances this season, AC Milan has undoubtedly brought a very big surprise to their fans. At the beginning of the season, although fans had some expectations for the team's performance, they were more limited to the top four in the league. Almost no one believes that they are still in the position of league "front-runner" towards the end of the season. And it seems that there is only "one step away" from winning the championship. Perhaps, after many seasons of "dormancy", the team will return to the league's highest podium this season. For this established powerhouse, this season is likely to be the starting point for them to return to the top.
Judging from the situation in the league, the advantages of Pioli and his players have become more and more obvious. With 2 rounds of the league remaining, they have a 2-point advantage. However, since they have an advantage in their mutual record with Inter, if the two sides end up with the same points, AC Milan will push their opponents to the front. As a result, they actually have a 2.5-point lead. Analyzing the winning situation between the two sides, the situation facing AC Milan is already quite clear. If they have a record of 1 win, 1 draw or 2 wins in 2 matches, they will win the final championship regardless of the opponent's record. If AC Milan has a record of 1 win, 1 loss or two draws, Inter can only surpass AC Milan to win the title in the next two rounds, and if it cannot win all, it will still see AC Milan to the top. If AC Milan only has a record of 1 draw and 1 loss in two matches, then the opponent needs to achieve at least 1 win and 1 draw to win the championship.
However, if AC Milan lose all the remaining matches, their prospects for winning the title will be very unoptimistic. The opponent only needs to win one of the two games to win the league championship. From the above analysis, it can be seen that AC Milan has already occupied a decisive advantage in the league title race. Even in both cases, AC Milan will win the title early. First, if Inter suffer a defeat in the next round, then AC Milan only needs 1 draw to lock in the championship trophy that has been absent for many years. Second, if AC Milan wins in the next round, once Inter milan cannot win, then AC Milan will also lock in the top of the table in advance. However, for the AC Milan group, they are generally younger, and the vast majority of players have no experience in the league title competition, Pioli needs to "decompress" them as much as possible to ensure that they play as expected in the crucial sprint stages.
Relatively speaking, the role of some key players in the team is also crucial. The first is Ibrahimovic. Judging from the situation this season, the veteran has been unable to make a substantial contribution to the team on the field, but his motivational ability on the field cannot be ignored. For the young players in the team, Ibrahimovic's spiritual attributes can make them firm in their confidence, so as to play the final battle "with one blow". This is followed by Tonali. This season, the Italy international has become the most consistent and outstanding player in the team. It can even be said that in the past few games, in the case of poor form of the forward line, Tonari has helped the team stabilize the position almost "single-handedly". As for The use of Tonali, Pioli also seems to be more and more experienced. Especially when placing him in the forward position, Tonari's excellent ability to maneuver, insert and finish make him the most threatening player on the offensive end of the team. If the ability to carry the ball and get rid of the ball on his back can continue to be strengthened, then Tonali's prospects will be "unlimited".
However, there are also some players whose contribution to the team's sprint phase is lackluster. At the end of the season, the prospects for these players are naturally rather bleak. In the right winger position, Salmakos's performance has not improved significantly, and although the winger is still very positive, he does lack personal ability. And in terms of potential, he doesn't seem to be worth the team's continued hopes for him. Castilejo's form was even more subdued, being "invisible" for almost the entire season. According to transfer expert Daniele Longo, AC Milan have already made a decision that they will "sweep Out" Salmachus and Castilejo at the end of the season. After the sale of these two attackers, the team will receive a transfer fee. They will use the transfer fee to sign players who are more suitable for the team.
In addition, in the center position, as mentioned earlier, Ibrahimovic will almost certainly not continue to play for AC Milan as a player at the end of the season, so it is necessary to sign a center with excellent scoring efficiency. According to Italian media, as the Italian international goalscorer, Bellotti has decided to give up the renewal of his contract and is bent on joining AC Milan. However, after basically finalizing Origi, AC Milan still has a wait-and-see attitude towards this transfer. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
