No doubt, AC Milan's started well. Victory over City? Impressive. But those Real and Barca losses? They showed flaws. Preseason has limits. Despite his good record, Fonseca faces a tough challenge. It will take time to assemble Milan's team.
Under Inzaghi, Inter is stable. That constancy Milan wants is there. Milan has some interesting new players, but its about how they fit in. Look, I want Milan to succeed. Great club with a deep history. But this season's gonna be more about building and finding their footing. Inter is stable and experienced. Potential doesnt win championships for Milan. It requires effort, devotion, and luck.
AC Milan's 2:2 draw against at San Siro stadium over the weekend is one of the reasons I don't take the results of preseason games serious. For a club that defeated Manchester City who happens to be one strongest teams in Europe, most people were expecting AC Milan to easily get the better of Torino but that didn't materialize as the away team twice came back to snatch a point from the game. AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca oversaw his first competitive game for the club in that game so I believe he can improve his tactical approaches to games which is likely to get them better results going forward.
The Italian Serie A just kicked off and I don't think it's sane enough to write off AC Milan's ability to win it or do you think they're not capable enough to compete with the other top teams in the league for a chance to win the scudetto at the end of the season?
In the case of AC Milan, the point I was making before the start of the season is that we can't predict how a team will perform in the main season based on pre-season performances alone. AC Milan beat the big teams in the preliminaries so many people thought that maybe AC Milan will do well in the Italian league next season but in two matches so far this team has played one match they have drawn and the other match they have lost. On the other hand, Inter Milan have played equal matches to AC Milan where they have earned full points in two matches and are at the top of the points table while AC Milan are at the 15th position in the points table after playing two matches. Last season we saw AC Milan as a close opponent to Inter Milan, this season AC Milan are performing like this if they continue to perform regularly then we will not see them between 1 and 5 in the points table.
