I considered Milan as a contender for the Serie A title. But I am very disappointed with the performance of this team. We saw Milan's dominance throughout the match. But the result of the match is that Milan lost 2-1. Cremonese players only had 4 shots in the entire match. Throughout the match, we saw Milan's players attack a lot. But the team was not able to score more than one goal. Milan's attack and defense performed so badly against Cremonese, I don't see the possibility that Milan will continue its good performance against the big teams in Serie A. Milan does not have the ability to win the title this season either.
It is very okay to feel disappointed and at same time consider them a contender, their performance has been shaking recently, they find it difficult to cause their opponents to feel pressured, they actually play a relaxed kind of game of which in the end they put in too much of an effort to win their games but they are make progress most importantly which means improvement is ahead for them. Milan defence still needs some strength else they will suffer it at the champions league but their attack may just need some adjustments with the tactics and they most likely will be good.
