As per what is reported by Milan News' editorial, it may be necessary for Pioli to evaluate returning to the traditional 4-2-3-1 formation module after the defeat against Fiorentina, but obviously with keeping Malick Thiaw on the pitch. However, the playing style must improve.
The Rossoneri's midfield struggled to retain possession and lacked creativity in their last outing, resorting to aimless long balls from the likes of Mike Maignan and Sandro Tonali to progress upfield. However, with a pivotal encounter against Tottenham on the horizon, the urgency to perform at a higher level cannot be overstated.
Qualifying for the next round of the Champions League competition would be a crucial milestone for the squad's development and morale, in addition to providing a much-needed financial boost. The return of Portuguese left-winger Rafael Leao and the potential availability of Spanish playmaker Brahim Diaz could inject a sense of optimism into the team's prospects moving forward.
