AC Milan focused a lot on the offensive department in the transfer market window. They signed important names such as Christian Pulisic, Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze and Luka Jovic.
What the Rossoneri still struggled to do in the last couple of outings, however, was finding the path to the goal. There are chances created, but the finishing is not there.
The team needs composure in front of the goal, things that haven't been seen in this past week. They were rather sterile against Inter, and even wasteful against Newcastle.
Coach Pioli gave his team an important talking-to, asking them to keep things simple without trying, for example, improbable heel kicks. They need to regain concreteness, and the match against Hellas Verona will have to demonstrate a significant change in direction, especially in the goal-scoring area, writes Calcio Style.
At the same time, Pioli will have to find solutions to manage Olivier Giroud effectively. And by managing a 37-year-old, we mean giving him some well-deserved rest days. There are options available, one of them being the Serbian Luka Jovic as Giroud's backup, along with Swiss talent Noah Okafor, who's eager to play.
