The Bianconeri coach made the expression, borrowed from horse racing, famous and “his”. But the numbers show that it is Pioli (with Mourinho) who have won several times 1-0 so far in the league
Allegri has made the “short muzzle” a fashion. The Juventus coach talked about it for the first time three years ago, after a 2-1 defeat with Spal. “Do you know horse racing? In horse racing you just have to put the nose in front. The muzzle. Photo: short muzzle.” From there it became a must. Max talked about the championship fight, but from that day on that expression has become synonymous with measured victories. And Milan knows how to do it: Pioli’s team – together with Roma – is the team that has won 1-0 several times in the whole championship: no less than five. Twice with Sampdoria, then Turin, Naples and finally Empoli (if we count Atletico in the Champions League they become 6). Even better than Max’s Juve, who are still at 4 in Serie A (they become 8 in all competitions, 3 in the Champions League and one in the Italian Cup).
OF MEASUREMENT
–
In short, Milan are first also thanks to the famous “short muzzle”. Those successes in which “winning by 10, by 100” was not enough, as Allegri said in the press room three seasons ago, but what counts is just winning, as the leaders Milan are doing. If we widen the score to the successes with just one goal difference, in fact, we must add the three points against Spezia (2-1), Atalanta (3-2), Verona (3-2), Rome (2-1) and Inter (2-1). Furthermore, it is the first double series of 1-0 of the Pioli era. Milan hadn’t won twice in a row with this result since 2019, against Brescia and Verona. On the bench was Giampaolo. Ibra wasn’t there. They were other times. On Saturday Kalulu decided to decide the match, then the Rossoneri’s fort resisted once again (also thanks to some good intervention by Maignan). And now it awaits the others.
THE OTHERS
–
Among the “seven sisters” only Mou’s Roma holds a hit, also with five 1-0 in 28 games (waiting for the match against Udinese). The Giallorossi have beaten Udinese, Turin, Cagliari, Spezia and Atalanta by “short nose”, plus Vitesse in the Conference League. Three in a row in the last three. We have already said about Juve, four 1-0 in the league and as many in the cups, while Inter – in Serie A – has collected only one (vs Turin). Two if we count Liverpool in the Champions League. Four also for Napoli (Turin, Salernitana, Milan and Sampdoria), two for Atalanta (Juve and Salernitana, with one less match). Sarri’s Lazio is stopped at one (vs Fiorentina). Among the other two 1-0 successes also for Viola, Empoli, Venezia and Torino. Three for Bologna. Four for the Spezia. Milan and Roma remain in front.
