The key return of Pulisic and Rabiot
Tuesday, November 11 marks a new phase for our beloved Milan. After the last break, we prepare to face upcoming matches without the nuisance of interruptions due to national teams. Certainly, our colors have suffered recently, not only from the lack of matches but also from the injuries of two top players: Pulisic and Rabiot. Their absence has had a significant impact on the team’s performance.
Statistics to keep in mind
In the post-September break cycle, the duo showcased their value. Milan achieved an average of 2.5 points per match thanks to their decisive plays, such as the goal and assist against Napoli and the dominance displayed in other key games. However, with their absence returning from the October national break, the average dropped to 1.8 points per match, clearly demonstrating how crucial they are for the team.
Future prospects
The return of Pulisic and Rabiot will provide new opportunities for coach Allegri to finally field the true Milan. Alongside them are players like Leão and Modric, essential to the team play. The team can thus reduce the fatigue of veteran Modric, who has given it his all in these eleven consecutive matches.
Allegri’s challenges
Allegri will now face the task of reintegrating Yashari, fresh from recovery, into the starting lineup without compromising the team’s balance. In midfield, there are various options to fill the open spots: Loftus-Cheek, Fofanà, and others. Analyzing these choices and maximizing the available potential will be crucial for the upcoming matches.
In summary, no matter how hard the wait is, the return of key players is always good news. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope to see our Milan back in action at its best, ready to conquer important results!
