SM: Pioli planning changes for the derby – new system and new role for Brahim Diaz

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is likely to make some changes to his starting line-up for the derby against Inter on Sunday given the horrific run of recent form.

According to the information we have through our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Pioli already has a clear tactical change in mind ahead of the game against Inter and that is to alter the system to a 4-3-3, to offer more solidity in the midfield.

Ismael Bennacer will return to the starting line-up alongside Sandro Tonali and they should be accompanied by either Tommaso Pobega or Rade Krunic for the game against the Nerazzurri, but that won’t be the only change.

In fact, Pioli is thinking of involving Simon Kjaer again in the centre of the defence while the idea of ​​deploying Brahim Diaz as a right winger in a trident alongside Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao is gaining momentum too.
