Undoubtedly because of this the team’s play at times can be painfully slow and predictable. There is also a clear lack of creativity in the frontline [...]
Milan 2 Inter 1: A Story of Two Halves
If there ever was a match that highlighted how a football game can be a story of two halves, it was this one. AC Milan managed to claim the Italian Super Cup in Beijing but only after coming back from one nil down with two goals in the second half. In typical fashion Max Allegri’s [...]
