After Friday's league victory, Sergio Conceição did not grant the team any days off, also because there is a Coppa Italia final to prepare for in the best way possible. Both yesterday and today, the Rossoneri showed up at Milanello to carry out specific training sessions in view of Wednesday’s match, where Milan will in fact be playing for their season, as this competition is the path to take in order to play in Europe next year.
At the moment, speaking about a probable lineup is premature, also because there are still several days until the final in Rome. Sergio Conceição’s intention is to try out as many solutions as possible during this stretch of time and then field against Bologna the lineup he considers to be most suitable (and ready) for the match. The feeling, in any case, is that the Portuguese coach will not stray too far from the 3-4-3 used in recent outings, with the only real doubt being who will be the center forward for his team: Luka Jovic or Santiago Gimenez?
The elements gathered over these days strengthen the candidacy of the Mexican striker, who, as written this morning by Il Corriere dello Sport, could form with Christian Pulisic the attacking duo for this Milan in the Coppa Italia. The choice, however, obviously falls to Sergio Conceição, but it is not entirely out of the question that the Rossoneri could rely in Rome on the numbers of the two North Americans.
Leao is getting ready to face Bologna in the cup final...
Having served his suspension in the league, Rafael Leao is starting to rev up his engine ahead of Wednesday's final against Bologna. The Portuguese has the Rossoblù among his favorite prey in Serie A, and the fact he was rested with such an important match in mind can only be an advantage for Sergio Conceição and company, who will rely on their number 10 just as they did in the Supercoppa final.
