AC Milan has also not been completely consistent this season and even AC Milan's achievements themselves are still slightly inferior to Atalanta when compared to this season after ten games.
The inconsistency of AC Milan still does not affect them too much but they must be more careful because in the season, there are more competitors than the past one. In the last season, AC Milan most competed the Scudetto with Inter Milan but we already see in this season, there are Napoli, Atalanta, Roma and even Lazio are ready to create more difficulties for AC Milan to protect their Scudetto.
Not all of those clubs will be able to continue their good form and some of them will fall behind in the competition. However, when they have good form, they can beat or make AC Milan and other competitors lose points. They will contribute and make a competition becomes more interesting and more unpredictable in general.
Atalanta still haven't lost this season, neither have Napoli and I think these three teams will make the Scudetto trophy even hotter. Especially considering that the three points are not that far away and if Napoli or Atalanta get a draw in the next match, then the position will change if AC Milan is able to win again in the next match.
Atalanta will be like Napoli and they both must maintain their performance after the World Cup. That will be an important period for them, whether their clubs will have injuries from the World Cup matches, whether their players will be able to play well after that tournament.
What clubs can play well one month after the World Cup will have big advantage to break out in the competition and increase chance to win it.
