Fantastic or Fabulous, whichever way you prefer, AC Milan’s front four were, in some ways, farcical against Feyenoord and changes will be made.
Leading up to the game, questions were asked about the feasibility of the four stars all starting together, but Sergio Conceicao believed that he could balance the system. However, this was not the case.

Instead, the test failed, and it did so in every sense. Getting the ball to the quartet was difficult, but when they did get the ball nothing was created, leaving Conceicao frustrated.
As a result, a change is almost guaranteed and Corriere dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan) writes that it is a time for ‘important choices’. The side were not in tune, and the four players were ‘not an orchestra’, a harsh but true reality for the side to face.
Yunus Musah is already expected to return to the starting lineup, and there may be a change on the wings too. For Conceicao, there is a deeper question: does he stick with the 4-4-2 ‘fantasy’ or work with the squad’s limitations and settle on a middle ground?
The result in Rotterdam, as the report states, cannot be wasted now. Conceicao and the team must learn, and it is probably not the last time that will be said this season if lessons are not learned, and this is why a ‘revolution’ is in order.
Farcical 4?
Fraudulent four?
Fantastic four? with leao? Hahahha..what a joke!!!
Leao or Joao will be benched for a midfielder.
Sounds good. Those two should be competing for the minutes. If Leao doesn’t want to give his 100% that’s fine, Felix can play. If he doesn’t want to give his 100% either, then there’s Sottil.
No point using 4231 when we have a few very laxy player
Other teams have found many ways to crack Milan in this formation
4-3-3
Mike
Walker – Tomori – Pavlovic – Theo
Musah-Fofana-Reijnders
Pulisic – Gimenez – Leao
Felix can come in on LMF instead of Reijnders if he doesn’t perform. Or he can slot into the left wing if Leao doesn’t perform. He can even go into the number 9 to pressure Gimenez as well, since Abraham or Camarda are a bit toothless as subs
Yea, that’s pretty balanced.
Or a 4-4-2 with Sottil in Leao’s place, Bondo/Fofana/Puli and REijnders behind Santi …
5 -2 -3
Thiaw forLeao
Later subs by Leao Chukwueze Felix Royal
Of order of Pulisic, Gimenez, Musah, Theo
Pulisic on right forwarded, Musah on central forward and Gimenez attackers on left
Royal go on RB as well as next to him Kyle Walker
Our defense is ….
Is right ….
Havent explaining by motivations of my scheme … just straight tactical
CorSport…. right??
The reality of this season has been Laeo is much more productive as a sub. It is time to forget who Laeo was. For whatever reason he is not the same player. If Laeo is a Super Sub the rest of the year. Milan has a better record than if he’s the starter….there’s I said it.
Please play Sottil instead of our beloved headless chicken sprinter Leao
bondo and sottil needs to be introduced as a starter IMO
