After Massimiliano Allegri’s press conference this afternoon, there have been a few suggestions about what tomorrow’s AC Milan team could look like.
The game against Udinese is vital for Milan. Ultimately, if they get back on track with a win, they would move significantly closer to a place in the Champions League next season. However, it will not be a simple task.

Indeed, the visitors know how to pull off an upset, and they will look to leave San Siro frustrated.
Instead of focusing too much on the Bianconeri, the focus is on what Allegri’s side will look like tomorrow evening. A change to a 4-3-3 has been suggested regularly in recent months and it may just be the time.
Press conference findings
Speaking earlier this afternoon, Allegri stated two things of interest, as Gazzetta dello Sport relays.
Changing to a 4-3-3…
“We talk about these changes, but it’s not just a matter of modules, it would be too easy. The difference is: is Saelemaekers a striker or a fullback? No. The difference is whether Tomori or Athekame plays.”
The depth of the squad currently…
“All the guys are available, including Gabbia: he will come with us, but he is not yet 100%. Loftus-Cheek is fully recovered. I have everyone available and there will be the possibility to make some changes to have fresh mental energy inside.”
If there is a time to move to a new formation, tomorrow would be the time, given Allegri has the luxury of a fuller squad. It also gives enough time to make a few assessments before the mercato and to determine where the team’s future may lie.
Allegri, as he typically does, kept his cards close to his chest. We’ll have to see.
you use mr. unknown to bench Tomori as a defender?
Isn’t it “outrageous” ? lmao
