Preparation for the match against Pisa
Milan is set to face Pisa in a crucial match scheduled for tomorrow night, Friday the 13th. Max Allegri intends to try something different to adapt the game plan, especially with another match against Como coming up shortly on the 18th. With only five days between the two games, the coach is looking to give playing time to as many players as possible, ensuring focus and motivation in the squad as we enter the critical phase of the season with just 15 matches left to play.
Possible changes in attack
During yesterday’s training, Allegri tested a revamped attack. Milan could field Nkunku paired with either Füllkrug or Leão. Despite the Portuguese player’s recovery, he might not start, whereas Füllkrug has shown athletic improvement, minimizing a previous foot issue. This makes the prospect of seeing the Füllkrug-Nkunku duo on the pitch quite realistic.
Additionally, Loftus-Cheek’s presence could see him repeat his performance against Bologna, where, despite some mistakes, he proved to add value in attack. Although Pulisic has returned to the squad, he seems not yet ready for a starting role.
Defensive choices
The defensive selections are equally important, as De Winter could earn a starting opportunity after showing improvements in training. His presence would add competition with Tomori, Gabbia, and Pavlović, complicating Allegri’s decisions. In midfield, either Adli or Atekame will take Saelemaekers’ place alongside Modrić and Rabiot.
Diffidi issue and preparation focus
An important aspect to consider is the issue of players at risk of suspension: opting to face “easier” matches like Pisa could be strategic to avoid suspensions in more crucial games. Players must keep their focus high during this final leg of the season.
Camarda and media controversies
A buzz was created yesterday around Francesco Camarda’s statement, the Rossoneri forward currently on loan at Lecce. Being a massive Milan fan and showing strong loyalty to Rossoneri colors, his generic response about a potential future at Inter fueled exaggerated interpretations from the media. In response, Camarda reaffirmed his bond with Milan on social media, silencing the speculation.
