According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stefano Pioli could use two different systems in the next few games, hoping to end Milan‘s bad run of form.
The Rossoneri return to training tomorrow after a 3-0 loss in a Supercoppa clash against Inter on Wednesday.
Milan’s start of the year has been terrible, regardless of their derby defeat. They have won just one game, drawing against Roma and Lecce and facing Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Torino.
The defending Serie A champions look more vulnerable than last year, so Pioli is reportedly considering changing system for the next matches.
According to Gazzetta, Pioli could switch to a 4-3-3 system against Lazio on Tuesday. On paper, this new formation would allow the Rossoneri to be more covered in central midfield.
Rade Krunic will return to training tomorrow, so he will be available against Lazio next week and could start in the middle of the park along with Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer, who struggled against Inter.
Another option for Pioli is a 4-4-2 formation which would offer more support to Olivier Giroud. Charles De Ketelaere, Brahim Diaz, Ante Rebic, Divock Origi and even Rafael Leao are among the potential attacking partners of the France striker, who has scored nine goals in 24 matches this season but hasn’t yet found the net in 2023.
It’s a good idea. Drop the attacking midfielder which is not working, but more importantly drop Tomori.
