Official: Monza vs. AC Milan starting XIs – Messias and Origi get the nod

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan’s clash against Monza will kick off in an hour and Stefano Pioli has named his starting XI. There are a few changes from the game against Tottenham, including Junior Messias and Divock Origi getting the nod. 

Milan will be looking to build on their two wins against Torino and Tottenham, thus with a chance to make it three out of three. Given the tight schedule, Pioli has decided to make a few changes to the starting XI for tonight’s clash.

In defence, Fikayo Tomori is back from his injury and will thus give Simon Kjaer some rest. Junior Messias replaces Alexis Saelemaekers to the right and Divock Origi has been given the chance up front, eager to get on the scoresheet.

  1. You wrote Official Milan XI (3-4-2-1): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Thiaw, Kjaer; Saelemaekers, Krunic, Tonali, Theo Hernandez; Diaz, Leao; Giroud.

    But your twitter show Messias and Origi.

    So which lineup is official???

  2. Diaz again?
    I swear I don’t know what pioli sees in him.
    Maybe some sort talisman for pioli?
    He’s weak and has such a narrow vision, he’s definitely not a number 10.

  3. Please change diaz at 2nd half.
    This is the match where CDK or Adli should have been given the chance.
    Diaz has always been playing like this, he’s always in the bad position and made it hard for his team to pass the ball to him.

    And i’m so amazed by krunic.
    I don’t know how but even with no pressure at all, he always able to find a way to mess up a simple pass.
    What a player!!!
