After the defeat against Lazio, Massimiliano Allegri immediately told his players that an instant reaction is needed so as not to ruin the good work done so far. That’s why tomorrow’s match at 6 PM at San Siro against Torino FC is both very important and delicate. In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about the on-field relationship and chemistry between Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, who are struggling quite a bit to connect during matches.
Chance for Fullkrug:
Some would like to see a change of formation to a 4-3-3, but the coach from Livorno wants to stick with his 3-5-2, the system he considers most suitable for this team. However, as reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, contrary to what was thought just a few hours ago, Allegri is now considering changing something in the starting attacking pair: Max’s temptation is Niclas Fullkrug, a German center-forward who arrived in January and has so far started only once, away at ACF Fiorentina. Tomorrow against Torino could therefore be his second start and, as in Florence, his attacking partner could again be Pulisic. The one left out would be Leao, who is still slightly ahead of Fullkrug for now, as told via Milan News.
Rabiot Returns:
As for the rest of the lineup, there will be a very important return for Allegri, namely Adrien Rabiot in midfield, who missed last Sunday’s match in Rome against SS Lazio due to suspension. Alongside him will certainly be Luka Modric, while for the third midfield spot there is an open battle, as yesterday both Youssouf Fofana, who started the last three matches, and Samuele Ricci were tested. On the left flank, Davide Bartesaghi is expected to return to the starting lineup in place of Pervis Estupinan, who is coming off a very poor performance against Lazio.
