AC Milan vs. Udinese: Draw Proves It Is Time for Milan to Start Worrying

Who would have thought that AC Milan would only have two points after three games in the Serie A season?

Well, that's exactly what has happened to the defending Serie A champions.

They played to a 1-1 draw at home today against Udinese in a game that could have brought them close to the top of the table.

Things aren't looking good in Milan and it may just be time to start worrying. Obviously we aren't talking relegation here, but what if Milan fails to finish in the top five? That would be an absolute disaster.

In Milan's defense, they absolutely dominated Udinese today. There was no reason they shouldn't have come away with three points.

They attempted 24 shots, but were only able to get six on net. It was a terrible shooting performance from defending champions.

They also dominated possession, as they had the ball for 64 percent of the match.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they shouldn't worry?

That's just not true, this team is struggling mightily right now.

They dominated in large part because Udinese dropped into a defensive shell. Their shell failed as they gave up an equalizer in the 63rd minute, but they were content with coming out of Milan with a 1-0 victory, or even conceding once, and getting a point.

This was a win for Udinese, there is no denying that.

In fact, they had the best scoring chance at the end of the match when Ahmed Benatia and Antonio Di Natale both had terrific chances to score the go-ahead goal in the final minutes.

AC Milan needs to shape up, and shape up quick, or they won't be repeating as Serie A champions.
