Milan Latest: Probable Lineup Against Atalanta
On the eve of the crucial match against Atalanta, coach Massimiliano Allegri outlined the potential lineup choices for Milan. Between the posts, Mike Maignan will be a steadfast presence for the Rossoneri. In defense, Fikayo Tomori is expected to return to take Koni De Winter’s place, while Strahinja Pavlović and Matteo Gabbia will form the central defense.
Midfield and Attack
Regarding the midfield, Allegri appears to favor a combination of Alexis Saelemaekers, Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modrić, Samuele Ricci, and Davide Bartesaghi. The Portuguese talent Rafael Leão is nearly certain to start in attack. The real question remains who will play as the central striker, as the coach must choose between Christopher Nkunku and Santiago Gimenez, both in excellent form.
Allegri’s Strategy
Allegri emphasized the need to implement balance in the lineup choices, considering the recent performance of various players. It’s important not to overly praise a player after a good performance only to dismiss them after a less impressive showing. Tomori, for example, will need to demonstrate he can provide solidity to the defensive unit, while young Bartesaghi has the opportunity to showcase himself in such a significant match.
Decisive Commitment
The challenge against Atalanta is seen as a direct clash: both teams aim for a spot in the top four of Serie A. With the Rossoneri seeking redemption after recent performances, the team taking the field must demonstrate character and determination right from the start of the match.
