Andrea Ramazzotti, journalist, expressed himself this way in La Gazzetta dello Sport regarding Milan's transfer market and the consequences after the Rossoneri's friendlies:
“Milan still needs a penalty-area center-forward"
"The return from vacation of Gimenez will give more substance to the attacking department. That said, Leao in the role of central striker looked good both against Arsenal and especially against Liverpool, who were undone by a goal and an assist from him. Rafa's bursts on the counterattack, however, are also the result of the work done at Milanello and in Asia, because his teammates are looking for him with quick vertical passes or after a one-two. No sterile ball circulation or possession for its own sake: the Rossoneri immediately try to do damage.
"Liverpool had 68% possession and took more shots (18 compared to Milan's 10), but Milan never gave the impression of being at the mercy of their opponents. Was it easier against Arsenal and Liverpool, who pushed forward en masse into the opponent’s half? Undoubtedly, yes. When facing more defensive teams, playing this way will be more complicated, but in the meantime Allegri has noted that Saelemaekers and Pulisic have good lungs and feet, that Loftus-Cheek is once again a midfielder who scores and makes timely runs, and that Ricci knows how to make the team tick without forgetting to cover space.”
