This season, AC Milan's form in the league has been very good, registering 5 wins and 1 draw. Now, eyes are on Bergamo as an important game against Atalanta is much anticipated.
After that game, the Rossoneri will finally be allowed to some rest while others will answer their national teams' respective duties.
During said rest, at Milanello, the former Fiorentina and Lazio boss will be hoping to recover some important players: Rade Krunic, Tiémoué Bakayoko and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He will also study some new tactical approaches while reviewing the performance of the other players at their national teams.
In this context, Stefano Pioli will watch with interest France's national team as he will focus on Didier Deschamps' use of Theo Hernandez. The French coach already used the Milan full-back before in a more advanced role than just a left-back.
In fact, Theo Hernandez' debut with the national team was against Finald as he played as a wing-back in a 3-4-1-2 formation module.
The Milan manager, could therefore think of using Theo in such an advanced role, deploying a 3-man-defence formation, with the former Real Madrid defender playing as a wingback.
There are many options and ideas to study for Pioli. He will hardly make any big changes to his winning tactics. But, he will certainly take notes and keep them in mind in case he may need them.
