Check this: No team has managed to get 45 points in 18 games in the first half of the season in Serie A. Ever!!!
What makes this Milan so special, so strong is:
- a terrifying continuity, which was what we lacked last season to capture lo Scudetto. This season, we do have this continuity.
- the team is more confident, more aware of their mind-buggling, monumental, out of this world, potential.
- the fact of having won a major title (actually the biggest there is.. ) gave the team this vital belief in themselves that they can not only compete with the very best, but be the very best!
- Ancelotti is more willing to experiment more and be more flexible and not as taciturn and as predictable and as stuckup as last year. Bravo Carletto!:thumbsup:
- we were all at the beginning of the season, or even before, during the summer calciomercato frenzy, drooling for a big name and Totti was on everyone's lips and wish list. However, the management went counter-current by not making any follies and went for the smart moves, which may not have been seen very glamourous, specially after our new status of European Champions, but which nonetheless, proved to be spot on and extremely astute decisions.
The players signed were Pancaro, Kaka and Cafu. All of 3 which have been very reliable and did what they've been expected to. Specially Kaka. We all knew or at least had heard him to be something, but quite frankly, no one was expecting him to have this kind of immediate impact that only a handful have ever had in Serie A, at such a young age and this fast (among them, Sheva and Platini...).
- Dida is imposing himself more and more and confirming that he's truly matured into, one of the very best keepers in the world (IMO, the world's # 1 keeper! ).
- The solidity and impermeability at the back reminds of that of the Capello's Invincible Armada. Nesta-Maldini as close as it gets to Baresi-Costacurta in central midfield of that phenomenal team of Don Fabio.
- Sheva is healthy (knock on wood... ) and is back to his very best. That is the most deadliest, dangerous, unstoppable and complete striker/forward on the face of this beautiful planet that we're living in. A goal scoring machine. Scary!!!
- Tomasson is really turning into the kind of player that Bip Bip Massaro was for us in the time of Sacchi and Capello, that is a player whom, each time he would get into the game, each time he would score. A kind of magical joker if you will. FORZA JDT!!!
So all this, if you add them, you obtain one scary, compact, solid, strong, versatile, adaptable, redoubtable and feared well-oiled machine or rather, a freight train, going at full speed towards all 3 titles in sight. And it's not giving any signs of slowing down or focusing on one objective rather than another one. They want, and more importantly, they CAN win them all!!!
this is writen by a fan on milanmania. taken here to let others have a look.
another reason why milan perform so well is also due to the fact roma and juve are playing well so milan is kind of forced to perform even better and set a amazing record.
