Juventus and Milan play their respective Serie A games on Saturday, awaiting them in a different mood
Juventus and Milan continue their Serie A campaign this Saturday with their respective clashes with Hellas Verona and Udinese.
The Bianconeri coach Igor Tudor has an opportunity to match a record set previously only by Giovanni Trapattoni and Massimiliano Allegri with Juve. If Juve win at Verona, Tudor will become only their third coach ever to win four Serie A matches in a row at the start of his first full campaign in charge.
Juventus has already defeated Parma, Genoa and Inter, although it won't be that easy with Verona.
Trapattoni achieved the feat in 1976 with victories over Lazio, Genoa, Foggia and Catanzaro, while Allegri did it in 2014 with wins over Chievo, Udinese, Milan and Cesena.
On the other hand, AC Milan are not doing that great, and a part of the reason may lie in their sloppy attacking line. Santiago Gimenez has yet to score his first goal for the Rossoneri this season. Speaking about the Mexican forward, ex-Milan and Italy striker Antonio Cassano described him as "phenomenal", but added that "he makes mistakes and he's struggling."
Speaking on Twitch show Viva el Futbol, with quotes via MilanNews24, Cassano blamed the pressure on Gimenez and said:
"Gimenez is phenomenal in my opinion but he makes mistakes and he's struggling. What do you expect if you wanted to sell him at all costs? It's normal that he's not happy but for me he's very good," said Cassano, who spent a year and a half at Milan during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.
