MILAN, THE IRON CYCLE BEGINS AGAINST LAZIO! ACCORDING TO THE POSTPONEMENT OF PARMA – JUVE, THE ROSSONERI CAN GO TO THE TOP. ALLEGRI ANSWERS COUNT: “YOU ARE THE FAVORITE…”.
At the summit for one night, albeit provisionally. Milan is preparing to face Lazio with the aim of overtaking Juventus, stopped by the snow in Parma. A continuous duel between the Rossoneri and the Bianconeri, which also sees the two coaches as protagonists. If on Monday Conte superstitiously singled out Milan as the absolute favorites for the Scudetto, yesterday Allegri replied as follows: “They are the ones undefeated and with the best defense…”. Skirmishes aside, the Rossoneri have to worry about the match in Rome: in the event of a misstep, in fact, Juve would have a further psychological advantage. In short, if Lazio – Milan was already important to him, now it is even more so. "February starts with many important matches, we will have to be ready trying to always arrive in the best physical and mental condition - said Allegri in the press conference, still unaware of what would (not) happen in Parma - At the end of the month we will be able to evaluate everything and understand how many chances we have to win the Scudetto”.
For the Tuscan coach this will be the decisive period of the season and it is difficult to blame him. After the match at the Olimpico, Milan will face Napoli, Juventus (Coppa Italia), Udinese, Arsenal (Champions League), Cesena and again Juve, for what will be the Scudetto clash par excellence. If the cup matches represent a point of no return for obvious reasons, even the championship ones are no joke, at least to see the pace of Conte's boys. Tonight's opponent is going through a good moment of form, as Massimiliano Allegri underlined: “Winning in Rome will be very difficult, they come from the good victory in Verona. As always, we expect a complicated match, even if the numbers show that Lazio are better away. They are an excellent team, they have a formidable couple like Rocchi-Klose, in general a squad that deserves this classification”.
