AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named a heavily rotated side to play against Novara in this morning’s friendly match at Milanello.
The Rossoneri played against ES Sahel at the training ground yesterday, winning 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Ruben Loftus-Cheek and a penalty from Olivier Giroud, but they are back in action again today.
Antonio Mirante has been named in the starting line-up in goal, with captain Davide Calabria – who returns from injury – joined by Simon Kjaer, Davide Bartesaghi and Alessandro Florenzi.
The midfield trio will be formed of Yacine Adli, Tommaso Pobega and Yunus Musah, with the former the regista we presume given he has played there before.
Samuel Chukwueze gets the nod on the right wing with Luka Romero on the left and Noah Okafor down the middle completing an attacking trident with all new signings.
Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Mirante, Calabria, Kjaer, Bartesaghi, Florenzi, Adli, Pobega, Musah, Chukwueze, Okafor, Romero.
Bench: Sportiello, Nava, Colombo, Saelemaekers, Traorè, Jimenez, Eletu, Simic, Nsiala, Zeroli.
Official Novara XI: Desjardins, Caradonna, Migliardi, Di Munno, Bonaccorsi, Scaringi, Fragomeni, Bagatti, Rossetti, Buric, Corti.
Bench: Boscolo, Menegaldo, Saidi, Martinazzo, Khailoti, Ranieri, Bertoncini, Gerbino, Prinelli, Scappini, Gerardini, Donadio, Valenti, Catania, Boccia.
Bartesaghi! Seems an interesting talent, lets see how he does.
Are you guys watching the match anywhere?
I found a stream on rojadirecta
Nice to see Okafor as CF. But Musah dont seem to be our CDM…
Why put romero on the left? He’s lefty. But let’s see the match anyway
We are playing the kind of 3-2-2-3 that we see at Man City and Arsenal, with a box in midfield. Florenzi is joining Adli as a DM in the build up phase. Interesting.
Pioli stole Bayern’s formation in 2020 and now, when there’s another club running the show, he’s stealing their formation. Not a bad strategy 😀
I mean, if it works right.. 😀
Formations don’t belong to any club so you can’t steal you morons
Relax dude, it’s Sunday morning. It’s not like I’m calling the police on Pioli. It was a figure of speech.
😂 some dudes are Crazy haha. Nice, that you mentioned the formation, its interesting ✌️
We did it again…won another game against a tough opposition with Furlanis team…the scudetto is all ours now…lol
