MN: A change in formation alone is not enough – Pioli needs a new attitude from his team

There is a lot of speculation circulating at the moment regarding a change in formation, but AC Milan have far more to worry about that just what system they play.

According to MilanNews, Stefano Pioli seems determined to change formation starting from Sunday’s derby as the Rossoneri coach will abandon the 4-2-3-1 and switch to a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 in order to have a more compact team that cedes less space to opponents.

A new system is a starting point, but it is not enough alone for Milan to get out of the difficult moment because it must also be accompanied by a change in approach and attitude. The balance between the right tactical and the right psychological approach is crucial, and without sufficient work on the minds of the players another defeat could easily follow.

It has been a very disappointing start to 2023 with the Scudetto, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana all out of reach, but with the Champions League tie against Tottenham still to be played and a battle for the top four on, a new attitude and new certainties are needed.

  1. With krunic, tonali and pobega. These three players cant play the ball in the midfield, they should try Diaz on midfield trio, so he can play and distribute the ball to the forward.
