AC Milan delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Udinese, with assistant coach Marco Landucci hailing the team’s “extraordinary performance.” The Rossoneri’s solid display highlighted improved defensive organization and attacking efficiency as they continue their Serie A campaign.
Milan’s Defensive Masterclass Against Udinese
Milan came into the Bluenergy Stadium after a shaky start to the season, aiming to maintain momentum following wins over Lecce (2-0) and Bologna (1-0). Landucci emphasized that the squad focused on defending as a unit, both collectively and individually, ensuring the clean sheet marked their third consecutive in Serie A.
The Rossoneri pressed high, tracked back effectively, and minimized chances for Udinese, who had previously gone unbeaten this season. This disciplined defensive structure allowed Milan to control the game from start to finish.
Pulisic Shines in Returning XI
Christian Pulisic returned from an ankle injury to the starting lineup and made an immediate impact. The winger scored two goals and assisted Youssouf Fofana for the third, showcasing his sharp attacking instincts and high pressing inside the opposition penalty area.
Landucci praised Pulisic and the squad for their technical skill, work rate, and commitment to team play. “They helped each other, fought for every ball, and were strong technically,” he said, noting Milan’s growing cohesion under Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical guidance.
Milan Adapting to Allegri’s Vision
The Rossoneri are gradually shaping into Allegri’s ideal side, with Landucci pointing out the team’s eagerness to learn from past mistakes. After the 2-1 defeat to Cremonese, Milan identified defensive weaknesses and worked diligently to minimize errors in subsequent matches.
Experience from senior players like Adrien Rabiot has reinforced the squad’s maturity. Landucci also highlighted the professionalism of Rafael Leao, currently injured, praising his attitude and readiness to integrate once fit.
Conclusion and Upcoming Fixtures
AC Milan will now prepare for their Coppa Italia clash with Lecce, where Allegri will serve the final match of his two-game ban. The team’s defensive improvements and attacking balance suggest a promising path forward in both domestic competitions. Fans can expect continued disciplined performances and further integration of returning stars like Pulisic and Leao.
