GdS: Milan have a duty to believe in top four following Como comeback | OneFootball

Thanks to yet another comeback win, this timer against Como, AC Milan are now just five points behind top four. As highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport, they have a duty to believe in it.

Goals from Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders sealed an impressive turnaround for Milan, who now have won two consecutive games for the first time in a month. As reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), they still have to believe in a top-four finish.

Indeed, while Sergio Conceicao’s Milan can be criticised on many levels, there is no denying that they have character. The messy, hybrid and undefined football aside, they certainly know how to turn a game around and get back from tough positions.

Yesterday was not only their second consecutive win, but also their second consecutive comeback as they turned 0-2 to 3-2 against Lecce and 0-1 to 2-1 against Como. In the top five European leagues, since Conceicao’s arrival, only Bologna (15 points) have recovered more points from deficits than Milan (12).

Como, meanwhile, have wasted 22 points from winning positions, which only Venezia (24), Valencia and Southampton (23) have done worse than. Having said all of this, it’s still very difficult to determine whether Conceicao can consider himself in the top-four race still.

While waiting for the results of today’s games (Bologna-Lazio, Fiorentina-Juventus), Milan are in 7th place and five points behind top four. They have to believe in it with nine games left of the season, otherwise they could just stop playing altogether.
