First of all, the right side of Davide Calabria and Alexis Saelemaekers is consolidated, and on the other side a Theo Hernandez-Rafael Leao duo with Rebic supporting the first striker certainly offers a lot of threat and can allow the Rossoneri to breach the penalty area more.
It is a system that could be used against Sampdoria in one week in the opening game of the system, but of course it is linked to the market and the arrival of a new playmaker could see the 4-2-3-1 picked again.
