Milan will close out the fifth round of the Serie A season this evening at 20:45, with the match against Lecce at San Siro coming just before the first international break of the season. This year, the break will last three weeks and cover two weekends rather than the usual two weeks. Eusebio Di Francesco’s Lecce arrive having won two of their first four matches and sit just two points behind Milan, who have dropped four points through draws against Juventus and Lazio.
Chef Amorim: Pulisic to 'cook' Lecce
To describe how Milan are approaching tonight’s match, 'Quotidiano Sportivo' uses a culinary metaphor that has become increasingly popular in modern football jargon on social media. The newspaper writes:
"Chef Amorim and Milan’s team of the day."
The reference is to the fact that the Portuguese coach has changed his starting XI in all five matches so far, with a sixth different line-up expected today.
The headline then focuses on one particular player:
"Pulisic straight away to 'cook' Lecce."
The subheading adds: "The American from the first minute for yet another variation in the line-up. At 20:45, a turning point is needed at the Meazza."
