Longo: Pioli ‘risking a lot’ by keeping same tactics despite Milan’s recent results

Stefano Pioli is not interested in charging AC Milan’s style of play despite the negative results recently, which was made clear during his press conference today. A risky decision, as highlighted by Daniele Longo. 

Milan will head into tomorrow’s clash against Napoli with two consecutive defeats in the bag, meaning a win is almost a must for the Rossoneri. Despite the struggles as of late, which have been evident to everyone, Pioli is not interested in changing the tactics.

As highlighted by Daniele Longo for Calciomercato.com, Pioli is ‘risking a lot’ in that sense. He was asked if he considers himself ‘arrogant’ during today’s presser but simply replied that he’s confident in his work and tactics.

By not changing the tactics, however, the manager could appear ‘arrogant’ seeing as the results have been negative for Milan lately. Longo also pointed out the obvious defensive struggles, such as ending up in many 1v1s, and this is something that must be sorted.

In short, Pioli’s stubbornness could be his downfall, even if we certainly aren’t at that point yet.
