Team News
AC Milan
Cagliari
- Lucas Biglia is finally training with the rest of the team, so he might earn a place in the squad here.
- Gennaro Gattuso is unlikely to risk the midfielder, especially as the XI he has used recently is working well.
- Cagliari will be missing a number of players, including new signings Valter Birsa, Cyril Théréau and Fabrizio Cacciatore.
- The Sardinians, though, will have Nicolò Barella back from suspension.
Piatek to score. 2-1
Must win game,
AC Milan & Piatek to score
Why is Paqueta on the right while Kessie is on the left?It is abnormal for Gattuso to place players like this.Also,Calhanoglu hasn't showed his ability till now,perhaps Gattuso should substitute him with Laxalt,who can bring more changes instead of passing back to defenders always.Joao Pedro can create threats,freezing him is a necessity.As to Calabria,he had better learn from Conti,strengthening crossings after speeding down the right wing.Anyway,hope Milan will beat Cagliari and get back to the fourth place again.
@MarcoRony Gattuso wants to play 3 like him in midfield and puts central midfielders out wide... and makes them play false wingers who will dazzle from wide to middle. It is not working out IMO. Especially regarding Calhanoglu who is typical offensive central midfielder. Also Milan coach makes Kessie as final pass maker what turns out to be very bad idea. However Paqueta is versalite player and they seem to make some good understanding with Piatek. Anyway I would prefer better coach to show Gattuso where he is wrong and learn from that
@MarcoRony because Gattuso is a dumpass and weak in coaching. Biglia + Calhanoglu is far better than Bakayoko + Kessie
