Massimiliano Allegri is looking for his 100th win as AC Milan head coach, but there is a lot more than just that at stake in Parma. As Corriere dello Sport report this morning, 'failure is forbidden' in Parma. This time, Allegri doesn't want to fall victim of the trap that his side fell into against Cremonese and Pisa, especially on a night where he is chasing a century of wins with the Rossoneri.
Starting with the hosts, while Cremonese might have only made their iconic Serie A return this season, the top-flight newcomers have enjoyed a remarkable start to proceedings. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across Italy's elite this year, Davide Nicola's men find the mood in their camp at a famous high. In fact, the Lombardy-based outfit open this weekend's fixtures sat in bronze medal position and they will be confident of laying down another early marker here.
