Tonight, AC Milan will face Cagliari in the challenge valid for the round of 16 of Coppa Italia.
The match comes three days after the last and before the next league commitment, and for this reason, Pioli chooses to rotate the squad.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport recently, the Rossoneri coach will take a risk by rotating squad and he will rely on several young players.
The Italian newspaper published the following headline to describe the situation:
"Pioli takes a risk with the young Milan."
For the newspaper, it is a 'gamble'. Jan-Carlo Simic and Alex Jimenez are set to start from the first minute with Luka Romero. Chaka Traoré will also start as a left-winger.
Against Cagliari, four U-20s will start, therefore. These are really interesting choices for Pioli. It should be noted that Alex Jimenez was preferred on the left flank because Davide Bartesaghi has been suffering from the flu in recent days.
As for the attack, Samuel Chukwueze will start on the right while Luka Jovic will be the starting central forward.
