AC Milan ended the month of March without a single win and dropped more points in the top four race, so Stefano Pioli is again thinking about a formation change.
Today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) report that Pioli is thinking of returning to the 4-2-3-1 formation that helped win the Scudetto last season, because the current three-man defence is yielding too little from an attacking point of view.
The Rossoneri have scored just three goals in their last four games yet they have conceded six in three so the solidity has vanished, and that has led the coach to reflect again on a change of system.
The 4-2-3-1 formation is one the players already know well but the Milan coach could also try a 4-3-3 where Sandro Tonali, Ismael Bennacer and Rade Krunic would be deployed simultaneously in midfield while Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Saelemaekers or Ante Rebic could be used from the start in attack.
The four-man defence would also lead to the return of captain Davide Calabria, excluded in the last few games with the three-man defensive set-up.
