With Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao returning, AC Milan have a much healthier-looking front line. As a result, they could be used in their more natural positions again.
The idea to play a 4-3-3 with Milan was there from the start for Massimiliano Allegri. In fact, he actually started with the formation before changing to a 3-5-2 after the first game of the season. Since then, with the Rossoneri unbeaten, he has not looked back.
However, there have been more than a few suggestions that he could actually revert to a 4-3-3 at some point in the year.
Allegri’s idea to change
With returns up top, it seems that these suggestions could come to fruition soon. Calciomercato.com reports that with Leao, Pulisic and even Santiago Gimenez getting ready to come back, Allegri’s attacking choices look to be in a great position.
As a result, he would have more freedom to have three attackers on the pitch, whilst also having options to look to on the bench, should he need to. Something which he has not often had available to him.
Of course, there is also the fact that his team have experimented with a four defender system during games already this year. This is something that the Italian wants to make a more common orientation for his team, indeed.
