The AC Milan side we saw against Lecce could become a regular feature throughout this season. In fact, Ruben Amorim was particularly pleased with the team's fluidity, with the players looking especially comfortable playing in this formation.
It is worth remembering, however, that the Portuguese coach's football is built around principles rather than formations. Nevertheless, the 4-2-3-1 deployed in the final match before the international break seems tailor-made for this Milan side.
The idea, therefore, is to stick with it, given how well everything worked. Tuttosport ran with the headline:
"Onwards with the 4-2-3-1"
It is a very different system from Ruben Amorim's usual 3-4-2-1, but it appears to be a perfect fit for the characteristics of this Milan team.
