AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli did not rule out the possibility of reverting back to the system that saw his side win the Scudetto.
Moving into the 2023-24 campaign there were some question marks about whether Pioli might ditch the concept of playing with an outright attacking midfielder and a double pivot in favour of a midfield three.
The signs in preseason suggested that the Rossoneri would be using a 4-3-3 and the signings that followed for the department – mainly box-to-box players – certified the intention to add a bit of physicality to the central areas.
Pioli spoke during his pre-match press conference on the eve of the game against Lazio and he was asked by one of the reporters if there is the possibility of Milan switching back to a 4-2-3-1 system.
“I’m thinking about it because Pulisic is well and in midfield we have five for six places,” he said.
“Then I like Loftus-Cheek as a mezzala, these are things that need to be tested a bit. At the moment we are working on other solutions, but the 4-2-3-1 during the game is an option.”
