verso milan-newcastle
Partly out of necessity, partly out of real conviction but after the badly lost derby the Rossoneri coach shouldn’t change much in view of the Champions League
18 set 2023
Change everything or change nothing, the doubt is logical after a defeat like the one in the derby but which came after three excellent matches in the Milan. What will he do then Stefano Pioli? The feeling is that, a little for need (because Kalulu and Bennacer remain injured and not all the new purchases have already entered the engine with full carburettor) and partly because the trust in the eleven currently considered the starter (a concept that the Rossoneri coach has reiterated since the beginning of the season) does not disappear in just 90 minutes, however ‘tragic’ they may be, we will not see any major changes in the lineup tomorrow against Newcastle.
A sure change, however, yes there will be and it is not even a surprise: he returns to the starting line-up
Fikayo Tomori, who was disqualified in the derby, where he would have been very useful. However, he will be useful against the Magpies, who make physicality and athleticism their best weapon and therefore for Pioli the Englishman is a better option than Kjaer. At a defensive level there will be no further changes while in midfield we are thinking about the option
Pobega o Musah for Reijnders without counting the possible arrangement with a
4-2-3-1 with Loftus-Cheek as attacking midfielder to repeat the end of the championship that had led to the championship (in that case it was Kessie who gave some muscle to the attacking midfield), to further limit Newcastle’s gusts.
The offensive department is the one on which we can work the most, with due distinctions. Leao obviously remains untouchable, yesterday’s training opened up the possibility of playing on the other flank
Chukwueze but before depriving ourselves of Pulisic, who knows the rhythms of the Premier League well and, moreover, had had a superlative start to the season, some more reflection will be needed. Finally, only the space occupied by Giroud remains who, on a theoretical level, might also need to catch his breath (not only for the identity card, it must be remembered that he was coming off an ankle injury in the national team and remained on the pitch with Inter a good 77′) but neither
Jovicby physical condition, nor
Okafor they seem to convince the Milan coach at the moment.
And then… we return to the initial discussion: few changes compared to the derby, Pioli relies on his starters and will try mostly to work on
mentality, attitude and approach to the match. To forget the derby and start the Champions League well.
