Eve of the Coppa Italia final in Rome: tomorrow Milan, against the excellent Bologna of Vincenzo Italiano, will play their last chance to make an otherwise largely negative season a little less bitter.
The chance to bring to San Siro the second trophy of the season after the Supercoppa won in January, however, must provide the right motivations to the team, which in recent weeks has found its balance with the new three-man setup introduced by Sergio Conceição: the three center-backs are able to offer more security in coverage, and the two wing-backs give great support to the offensive players.
The build-up to the big match at the Olimpico has seen both Luka Jovic and Santiago Gimenez as protagonists: at the moment, Conceição has two particularly in-form forwards at his disposal for just one spot, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
In fact, this is the only doubt, for now, for tomorrow: the Serbian is ahead, but the choice has not yet been finalized. For the rest, also considering the excellent news of the recovery of Youssouf Fofana, who today trained with the group, the lineup is practically set.
Maignan, captain, in goal. Back three with Tomori, Gabbia, and Pavlovic. Theo and Jimenez on the wings, with Fofana and Reijnders completing the midfield. In attack, Leao and Pulisic will operate behind, it is believed, Jovic.
Milan: 3-4-2-1:
Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Jimenez, Fofana, Reijnders, Theo; Pulisic, Leao; Jovic
