Serie A-Atalanta VS AC Milan: The center is not strong, which drags down Milan

In the 7th round of Serie A, when Naples lost to Turin and Inter Milan defeated Roma, AC Milan topped the Serie A standings with a 1-point advantage after defeating Fiorentina 2:1 at home. But then they played the newly promoted team at home against the bottom team Pisa, but the score was tied 2:2, and it was an absolute tie in stoppage time. After Naples defeated Inter Milan at home, they regained the top spot with a 1-point advantage, and Milan fell to second place.

The team coached by Allegri is not good at bullying? In the first round of Serie A in the new season, they lost to Cremonese at home. Now they can't even win at home, it seems like this.

In fact, the fundamental reason is that the center is not strong enough. In February this year, AC Milan spent 32 million euros to introduce Feyenoord forward S. Jimenez. At that time, AC Milan had poor records in both Serie A and the Champions League, but this signing had no effect. In half a season, S. Jimenez played 14 games in Serie A and had only 5 goals and 2 assists. Ironically, AC Milan was eliminated by S. Jimenez's former club Feyenoord in the Champions League knockout playoffs.

In this summer window, AC Milan continued to introduce forwards. They first targeted Bayer Leverkusen forward Boniface, but he returned the contract after a medical examination. His current performance in Werder Bremen is indeed not good. Subsequently, AC Milan introduced Chelsea's useless striker Nkunku at the highest price of 37 million euros in Serie A during the summer window. This was even worse. He came on the bench 4 times in Serie A this season, with 0 goals and 0 assists.

Playing the bottom team at home, S. Jimenez started, and Nkunku came on as substitute for S. Jimenez. Neither of them scored a goal. How can Uncle James not be embarrassed?

Atlanta VS AC Milan

Nature of the match: Round 9 of Serie A

Match time: October 29, 3:45

Atlanta has lost its "true blue and black" style this season. In the first 8 rounds of Serie A, it has 2 wins, 6 draws and 12 points. It ranks seventh in the Serie A standings, 3 points behind the fourth Inter Milan. It is said that Juventus was the "draw master" before, but they only had 3 draws. How could there be as many draws as Atalanta?

In the Champions League, Atlanta's record has also fluctuated greatly. In the first round of the league stage, they played the defending champion Paris Saint-Germain away from home and were defeated 0:4. In the second round, they defeated the Belgian team Club Brugge 2:1 at home. In the third round, they played the Czech team Slavia Prague at home and tied 0:0.

AC Milan currently has 8 games, 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 17 points, ranking third in the Serie A standings, 1 point behind the first Naples and second Roma, and 2 points more than the fourth Inter Milan. In this round, Roma plays Parma at home, Naples plays Lecce away, and Inter Milan plays Fiorentina at home. If AC Milan cannot beat Atlanta away, the third position may not be preserved.

Atlanta has 3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in the past 10 games in all competitions. It has drawn 4 consecutive draws in all competitions recently, including 4 consecutive draws in Serie A.

AC Milan has 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the past 10 games in all competitions.

The two sides have met in the past 10 times, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, and they are evenly matched. However, Atlanta has a clear advantage of being unbeaten in the past 5 games with 4 wins, 1 draw.

If you are not good at bullying, how about playing against a strong team? In this battle, the Rossoneri is worth looking forward to.
