AC Milan is getting ready to win the Scudetto

DBasia.news – AC Milan is now the strongest candidate to win the Scudetto for the 2021-2022 season. One sign is already shown by the Rossoneri.

Milan has just won the top of the standings from the hands of Napoli. It can not be separated from the results achieved by both teams in the 16th week.

Milan shot to the top of the standings after beating Salernitana with a score of 2-0, Saturday (4/12). A few hours later, Napoli actually lost 2-3 to Atalanta despite appearing at home.

The victory over Salernitana has now made Milan pack 38 points. Stefano Pioli’s side are one point clear of Napoli in second place.

Reaching 38 points from the first 16 weeks is also Milan’s best start in Serie A since 2003-2004. At that time, Il Diavolo Rosso ended the season with a championship title.

Last season, Milan only packed 37 points from the first 16 weeks. That means there is real progress shown by Inter’s city rivals.

This is certainly a strong signal for Milan to repeat the record. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his teammust have learned from last season’s mistakes when they ran out of steam, even though they had long led the standings.

Pioli’s Response

Pioli is certainly one of the happy people with Milan’s impressive record. But he didn’t want his players to be complacent.

“This is the second year we have started the season strongly. But we have to be more consistent,” Pioli told DAZN.

“Little things make a difference in Serie A. Maybe injuries and European commitments will have an important effect on the Scudetto race as well.”
