After 2 matchdays, Milan find themselves at the top of the table with a perfect record. Despite a less brilliant performance than last week, this victory guarantees Milan a minimum of consistency in their results.
It is clear that the teams faced were not top-tier, but the victories obtained should not be underestimated. To be ready for more challenging fixtures, such as the big match next week against Juventus, two elements are needed: confidence and consistency. These, albeit to a limited extent, have been achieved with these first two games. It is therefore clear that the foundation to keep convincing is there. Obviously, it is not yet time for verdicts and judgments — there will be time and opportunity to get a clearer picture of this team.
The game plan is working
But the start has been convincing, not only because of the two wins out of two, but also because the style of play proposed seems to work. The team frequently presses high, putting pressure on opposing defenders, and in the attacking phase seeks to maximize runs and through balls from the most offensive players.
There remain technical and physical limitations in some individuals, which should be addressed mainly through transfer market moves aimed at strengthening the squad. But, for now, the only thing to look at is what has been achieved: 6 points out of 6, with the goal of keeping it up.
