"Milan for having an 'arrogant' attitude for much of the first half. In the end, it cost them the win and made them waste a fantastic opportunity in the standings. "It was supposed to be the night of the surge to the top, but instead Milan slowed down and, indeed, even celebrated the equaliser. "A wasted opportunity for Allegri, who is experiencing a curse of sorts with the newly-promoted teams: on the opening day, Cremonese won at San Siro, while Pisa came close this time."
""Why did this happen? A question with many answers. The most significant: Milan's arrogant attitude in the first half, as well as the lack of a centre forward in both halves. "In general, even if it can't be used as an excuse against Pisa, Milan can only tolerate the absences of players like Rabiot, Pulisic, and Loftus-Cheek for so long," he stated."
Milan drew 2-2 with Pisa, missing a crucial chance to cement a top position ahead of difficult fixtures against Atalanta, Roma and Inter. The team dominated early but adopted an arrogant approach in the first half, reduced their pressure and even celebrated the equaliser. A perceived shortage of a genuine centre forward affected both halves and contributed to missed chances. Absences of players such as Rabiot, Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek further weakened the squad's options. The result continued a troubling pattern versus newly-promoted sides and represented a wasted opportunity for Allegri's side.
