Has anyone noticed how there is a similar pattern in season 2007/08 and this season?
September and October weren't good last season. We lost at home to Udinese, we lost away to Napoli and we had 2 draws. This season we also lost twice and had 3 draws in these months. Then we hit form in November and December but after Christmas we lost to Reggina and Fiorentina and played 1:1 with Catania and Cagliari. In the second part of February, as well as in March and April, we made the best results when we beat Inter, Milan, Roma, Napoli and we destroyed Lazio, Atalanta, Parma.
This year, at least until now, we can see the same things. Average/bad September, October, great November and December, and we were again bad after Christmas, in January and early February.
Does this have anything to do with our trainings? With our pre-season and winter preparations?
You know, slow start and everything is set to hit form at the right time.
Different coaches have different methods. Capello's teams had great start, great mid-season, but they were falling apart come the last 2-3 months. Ancelotti's Milan is always slow starter and always have a great finish. Lippi was also the strongest in the later stages. All this has to do a lot with the preparations and with the training methods.
I guess late February, March, April and May will give us a more clear answer on this, but so far things are shaping up in that way.
