Massimiliano Allegri has also spoken about Rafael Leão, star of Milan, analyzing his position on the pitch and the offensive options for the team. Especially after his positive performance against Fiorentina, where Leão played a central role, underlining his importance for the Rossoneri’s offensive plays. The coach confirmed that the player can operate as both a first and second striker, allowing him to better insert himself into the game’s movements and exploit his qualities to the fullest.
Leão, currently valued at €70 million according to Transfermarkt, has shown that he can have a greater impact when involved in the game, and Allegri is determined to emphasize this aspect. With forwards like the American Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez ready to collaborate in the attacking phase, Milan seems to have numerous options on the frontline. Allegri also discussed possible variations in the lineup, aiming to maximize his players’ qualities and appropriately respond to the requirements of the match against Pisa.
Leão’s versatility could prove crucial in this eighth round of the season, considering Milan needs points to maintain its position at the top of the table. The possibility of deploying him in different roles offers a strategic advantage to the coach in preparing for the challenge, and the manager is confident in the group’s ability to adapt to various game situations and continue improving throughout the season.
