AC Milan face a tough test against a rampant Dinamo Zagreb side at San Siro tonight, and Stefano Pioli is expected to field a strong line-up accordingly.
According to what is being reported by this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pioli should field what has become the ‘first choice’ defence in Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez in front of Mike Maignan.
Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali are tipped to be in the double pivot with Brahim Diaz in the central attacking midfielder role.
In attack, Alexis Saelemaekers should be preferred over Junior Messias on the right with Rafael Leao on the opposite wing given he will get a rest against Napoli on Sunday due to being suspended, and Olivier Giroud will lead the line again.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Giroud.
Probable Dinamo Zagreb XI (3-5-2): Livakovic; Ristovski, Sutalo, Peric; Moharammi, Ivanusec, Misic, Ademi, Ljubicic; Petkovic, Orsic.
Good luck playing a midget against a physical Croatian side
Diaz? For real? Dude is a gamble. There’s just a 10% chance that he will play well. CDK should start as CAM. Diaz can play on left.
Or we just go for 352. Solves ‘most’ of our problems except the biggest one.. we are not used to 352.
This on loan flop is playing week in week out and an owned better player in Adli is rotting In bench and having his confidence destroyed………
Well who else is gonna play if we are to rotate, even CDK have not been 35m good….but who cares, Adli who we all watched in preseason (same preseason Diaz sucked) is not ready according to Pioli BUt the steady flop midget is always ready, probably always ready to flop again, who cares, the more he flops, the more he plays.
pre-season is pre-season. Let’s not forget ppl, Adil and CDK are 21. young as hell, playing in a new place, new people, new system etc. Give them some time. Tonali and Leao took some time to adjust. Not everyone if Freaking Kalulu .
Having said that, i also dont get why we keep playing Diaz if he isnt performing and he’s certain to leave.
ugh.
LOL. 3-1 for Milan. I bet you were one of the ones crying loudest when they sold Hauge. HAUGE HAUGE. Hauge is now on loan at KAA Gent because he couldn’t even hack it at Eintracht
Maybe cdk to replace leao against Napoli
