AC Milan, after the big derby loss, have seen some tactical tweaks initiated by Stefano Pioli and applied by his players. One important instruction, which seems to be working for now is putting Calabria back in his natural role. We read the following in the La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper today:
"Calabria back in his natural role, Musah as a variant"
Until the derby, it seemed that Calabria playing as an additional midfielder was a key part of Milan's 2023-24 season. However, the team's collapse in the derby led Pioli to return to the old ways, with Calabria playing as a right-back only. Loftus-Cheek's injury has allowed Musah to be discovered as a right-sided midfielder, with a tendency to drift to the wing to cross.
