Pellegatti presents calculations for the results Milan need to get into the top four | OneFootball

Carlo Pellegatti has provided his calculations on what he thinks AC Milan need from their remaining 16 league games in order to get a top four finish.

It has not been the start to the season that Milan wanted domestically as they have regularly dropped frustrating points and when they have had the chance to close the gap to the teams above they often haven’t done so.

What is means is that the Rossoneri face a real uphill struggle to make the top four (or five, if Serie A remains above LaLiga in the league coefficient ranking), all while having to balance the Champions League play-offs and hoping to have a deep cup run.

Speaking in his column for MilanNews, Pellegatti praised the work of CEO Giorgio Furlani and the rest of the management with regards to the transfer window, and spoke about what is needed to achieve the minimum objective.

“Milan start at -7 from fourth place and at -5 from fifth place despite having one game less. There are therefore 16 matches left until the end of Serie A. I have studied over the last ten years how many points were needed to finish fourth,” he said.

“I list them starting from the 2014-2015 season, 64 points. Then, in the following championship, 67, then again 72, 72, 69, 78, 78, 70, 70 and 69 in the 2023-2024 season. It can be deduced that Milan must aim for a score between 69 and 74, removing the lowest and highest.

“This means that the Rossoneri, currently at 35 points, must earn between 34 and 39 points. In sixteen games, therefore, Conceicao must aim for at least 11 victories, three draws and can only afford two defeats.

“On the other hand, all the points thrown away in the first five months must be remedied in this final part of the season, considering that Milan also has the sweet, sweet weight of the Champions League.

“In short, it is important that these concerns have been well received by the management. ‘We are not happy’ Ibra said, without hiding behind embarrassing screens. And that no more stormy drafts of air come out from the secrets of Milanello.

“Today all energies must be projected towards an exhilarating and very difficult end of the season. ‘We are not happy!’. Even the disappointed, but always passionate Rossoneri fans have been shouting it for a long time!”
