New Beginnings for AC Milan

The new season marks a critical time for AC Milan, who are looking to improve following a disappointing campaign in 2024-25. Following previous managerial changes and issues with player performances, the club is undergoing another transformation.

Christian Pulisic’s Impact

With the anticipation of a promising third season, Christian Pulisic stands under the spotlight as he gears up for the 2026 World Cup in his home country. Pulisic, having joined from Chelsea, has proven to be an essential player for Milan. Under coach Massimiliano Allegri, he is set to explore various roles that could further enhance his contribution to the team’s success.

Allegri’s Defensive Strategy

Massimiliano Allegri has conveyed his focus on building a strong defense while ensuring an attacking approach. In his first press conference, he highlighted the need for a robust backline and efficient goal-scoring tactics as vital aspects for any successful campaign.

“In the last 20 years, there has only been one season where the best defense didn’t win the league: Sarri’s year at Juve when he conceded 43 goals. A great team scores 60 to 80 goals and if you concede 40, you can’t get into the top four,” he stated.

New Signings and Potential Departures

The recent addition of Luka Modric aims to replicate the influence that Zlatan Ibrahimovic brought in previous seasons. His wealth of experience will be indispensable for the younger talents like Samuele Ricci. Moreover, the future of Yunus Musah remains uncertain, with discussions about his fit within Allegri’s new vision for the team.

Despite a rocky start, a significant decision soon lies in the hands of the management on the striker position, especially following the signings and departures of key players.

Conclusion

As AC Milan embarks on this important season, all eyes will undoubtedly be on them to reclaim their position in Serie A and uplift their standards on the European stage.
