Milan continues to struggle to define a tactical identity, oscillating between the 3-4-2-1 formation and the 4-4-2 used against Lecce before the break. This instability prevents the club from establishing a coherent gaming system, which would guarantee safety for the players. Coach Amorim finds himself faced with difficult choices, especially regarding the management of the midfield and defences.
Among the critical points is the choice to send Estupinian onto the field, a traditionally "Milan-killer" player, who had to be replaced at half-time due to a yellow card. Furthermore, the decision to start the match with Frenchman Ramos, chosen by the coach the previous year, was the subject of discussion on social media. The use of Modric, although considered a point of reference, has been questioned due to his actual ability to lead the midfield.
For the January transfer window, the main focus remains the three-quarter area, with Endrick as the main candidate. Hutchinson's arrival, however, has not yet produced positive results. The defensive needs are accentuated after Gabbia's injury, and the difficulty of maintaining a high pace in such an intense calendar represents Amorim's second concern, after the need to establish a definitive game system.
In summary, Milan still need to find their tactical identity, facing key decisions in midfield and defence, before they can compete confidently in the upcoming matches.
