Tuttosport: The signings have arrived and now Pioli must get to work

AC Milan have made eight signings on the transfer market this summer and starting today, Stefano Pioli will have all of them at his disposal. Therefore, it’s now up to the manager to get things going. 

The pre-season friendlies in the US highlighted some concerns for Milan, above all in defence, and this is something Pioli must work on. As stated by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), not a single signing has been made for that department, though.

However, Pioli doesn’t have time to wait for additional reinforcements and will need to get to work immediately. Milan will play four more friendlies before the season opener against Bologna and the manager will now also have Yunus Musah and Samuel Chukwueze at his disposal. The first training session back at Milanello is scheduled for this afternoon.

Noah Okafor, who was in the States with the team, should also be ready to start training with his new teammates after recently recovering from an injury. In other words, Pioli will be able to test new ideas in the 4-3-3 formation and regardless of the defensive concerns, he has no excuses.

  1. Although our defence wasnt looking that great in preseason, matches are won in the midfield and thats why we should focus entirely on Dominguez. If we make some additional sales after that, get some low cost opportunity(like thiaw last year) and thats it.

  2. After winning scudetto, defence become very big concern. First Maignan got injured, and Calabria. Kessie left and make a hole, (luckily Kessie lost his career) and Kalulu dropped form with Tomori.
    So there are 2 solutions to this problem:
    Many times attacking is best form of defending. So now against not so strong clubs, we can attack with 4 2 3 1 and Leao Okafor Pulisic Chukwueze…
    And in 4 3 3 Pioli must integrate 3 midfielder to cover all holes that will be created after we finish with attack.
    All these midfielders must be very good in defence like in attack and our defenders must gain best concentration to keep Mike sheet clean.
    There is big space to develop, but in this season we don’t have much space for mistakes.

      1. Honestly bro, that caught me off guard, why should anybody be happy kessie’s career went off the rail.
        I wasn’t happy about his leaving, doesn’t mean I should gloat if he fails
