It's not because there aren't many articles about Milan, but I get the impression from Michael Cox (the writer at zonal marking) that he wasn't particularly keen on Italian football last season when he wrote a couple of times about the general tactics being used in Italy (we were at the forefront of the system discussed). This said, Napoli's and Udinese's rise in Italy definitely caught his eye and he seems pretty interested in their systems, but generally I never got a particularly positive feeling from him about Milan.
Don't get me wrong though, I rate the site very highly and I don't there's any sort of bias against Milan (he wrote very interesting things about Ancelotti's Milan), just I don't think Allegri's Milan have captured his interest much yet. That said, Allegri's Milan is transforming into a really interesting team, and it's getting it's own clear identity now, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're right and he does write more about us.
