Sacchi Recognizes Allegri’s Progress and Cautions Milan Against Parma Threat

Former AC Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi has acknowledged the progress made by current head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Sacchi suggests that Allegri’s team exhibits a more refined playing style compared to previous seasons. However, he cautions the Rossoneri about their upcoming match against Parma, emphasizing that it won’t be an easy contest.

Upcoming Challenge: Milan vs. Parma

This evening, AC Milan will face Parma at Stadio Tardini. A victory would position Milan at the top of the Serie A standings, pending results from Roma, Inter, and Napoli. Sacchi highlights the importance of seizing this opportunity as Milan looks to solidify their status as title contenders.

Current Standings and Recent Form

• Milan has been unbeaten in their last nine Serie A matches.
• Parma, in contrast, has struggled recently, with only two points from their last five games.

Despite Milan’s superior form, Sacchi advises against underestimating Parma. He notes past performances against teams like Cremonese and Pisa, where Milan secured just a single point despite playing at home. This underscores the ongoing need for improvement within the squad.

Allegri’s Tactical Evolution

Since Allegri took charge four months ago, Sacchi believes that the team has made significant strides. He emphasizes that Allegri’s current squad demonstrates more cohesion and artistic quality in their play. In his view, the aesthetic appeal of Allegri’s AC Milan surpasses that of his previous team at Juventus.

Team Selection for the Match

For the match against Parma, Allegri is expected to field a strong attacking lineup, featuring Rafael Leão and Christopher Nkunku. Christian Pulisic, returning from injury, will be on the bench.

As the match approaches, the Rossoneri need to keep Sacchi’s warning in mind and approach the game with the seriousness it deserves. The results could set the tone for their title ambitions in the current Serie A season.
