Serie A: AC Milan vs Cremona

Match time: 2025-08-24 02:45 Sunday

Team recent situation analysis:

AC Milan has also invested a lot of recruitment funds in the new season. Although the recruitment investment in the entire Serie A is quite limited, at least AC Milan spent 36 million euros to introduce the outstanding player Yashari. With the joining of veteran Modric, Leo and Pulisic and other players stayed in the team again. It can be said that AC Milan is absolutely capable of re-proving its league competitiveness this season. What's more, the coach Allegri already has rich experience in coaching Serie A team. In addition, AC Milan has no concerns about European competitions in the new season. These advantages will further enhance the hope of this Serie A powerhouse in the league championship. Since AC Milan is here to compete for the league championship trophy, the players' enthusiasm for the first game of the season will definitely be extremely guaranteed. From the perspective of the tactical board, although Agleri had mentioned before that it is possible to change the formation to a 433 impact formation, and to enhance the team's confrontation intensity by strengthening the control of the mid-front court. However, AC Milan was mainly a 352 formation in the previous warm-up matches, and this tactical system was no different from the tactical style he played when coaching Juventus. However, there were no high center forwards like Vlahovic in AC Milan. Leo and Pulisic's offensive methods were more focused on personal breakthroughs, which means AC Milan's offensive system was far from perfect. Even if the midfield interception ability and offensive fluency may be improved, whether the team can create enough defensive pressure for the opponent may still rely on Leo's personal performance.

Of course, veteran Modric is also a player with rich game experience. Even though his physical fitness and confrontational ability have declined with age, Modric will definitely be able to provide a considerable support for this team after joining AC Milan. What's more, Aglerian coaching style has always been rigorous. I believe AC Milan can still show strong league championship ability in the single-line schedule.

Cremona believes that fans should be relatively unfamiliar with them. After all, this team can only compete in the second division for many seasons. However, with the players' stable competitive state, Cremona finally passed the upgrade play-offs and promoted to the Serie A. The team's primary goal in the new season is definitely to complete the relegation task. After gaining a foothold in the Serie A, then slowly improve the team's league competitiveness. However, because the club's funds are relatively limited, even though the team was promoted to the Serie A, Cremona did not invest too much recruitment funds. Players like Nava and Bondo were only on the bench in other teams before. It can be seen that Cremona would definitely be a very difficult thing to gain a foothold in the Serie A.

It is worth mentioning that although Cremona's overall strength is average, this team is not the kind of team that only sticks to it, but instead seeks opportunities for a quick counterattack through active and proactive midfield pressing. Moreover, because there are no players with strong personal abilities in the team, Cremona's offensive method is also relatively simple. Breakthroughs on the wing create opportunities for set pieces, and create defensive pressure on the opponent through corner kicks and free kicks. This is Cremona's main offensive method. Although this tactical style is a bit rough, it is more practical. If the confrontation opponents look down on Cremona too much, Cremona will definitely be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent.

Event analysis:

AC Milan and Cremona's last encounter dates back to the Serie A in the 2022 season. At that time, AC Milan had a draw with their opponents in both confrontations. Obviously, Cremona can indeed effectively limit AC Milan's offensive through the retreat formation. However, AC Milan's tactical style has changed in the new season. The arrival of players like Modric has indeed further enriched the team's offensive methods. Even if Cremona uses iron barrel formation to entertain AC Milan, it may be difficult to stop the opponent's attack for a long time. What's more, AC Milan is coming to compete for the league championship in the new season. The players will definitely do their best to treat it. I believe that after experiencing a hard battle in this game, AC Milan will likely be able to successfully grab the key three-pointer from Cremona.
