AC Milan head coach Sergio Conceicao has two doubts to resolve regarding the team that will face Dinamo Zagreb tomorrow night.
Milan will close out the first phase of their Champions League campaign in the Croatian capital, knowing that a win would secure their spot inside the top eight and could see them move above the current ranking of sixth.
As Sky report, the Milan squad trained on the eve of the match against Fabio Cannavaro’s Dinamo Zagreb. The session started with a speech from Conceicao to the players, to reiterate the importance of the game.
The main problem for the coach concerns the right side of the defence, with Emerson Royal injured, Davide Calabria suspended, Alex Jimenez not in the UCL squad and Kyle Walker also not registered yet.
The first doubt therefore concerns who will start between Fikayo Tomori and Filippo Terracciano at right-back, which confirms that the Portuguese plans to stick with the centre-back pairing of Strahinja Pavlovic and Matteo Gabbia.
Secondly, Conceicao must pick who will lead the line between Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham up front. Both have struggled to score goals regularly, and with the shadow of Santiago Gimenez growing, it could end up being a big evening for either or both.
I prefer this selection, in case of dinamo and small city club named sh.iter.
Maignan
Musah Tomori Pavlovic Theo
Reijnders Bennacer
Morata
Leo Puli
Abraham
Hoping they will somehow managed to lead at half time against Dinamo. And after 45 minutes i would Rest Reijnders and Theo, and later took off Tomori, Leao and Morata.
Against small club.
Maignan
Kyle Theo Tomori Pavlovic
Bennacer Musah Reijnders
Leao Morata Puli
At least shows if something there goes wrong with your starters there is always one two names as usual suspect for unconditonal worses games … I think Cao knew that too
I read highly erudite comments thats often have good points and same visions ad mine
Leaving Fofana Samy and Musah and starting with two cfs is good idea thats why i support and at least having Jovic in a back
To me Jovic perfrormed best of all other CFs in Milan this season but i seen improvement and step to the good result in Tamy IMO so CD
Jovic cannot be used. He’s not on the UCL list.
Why are you using Tomori-Pavlovic?
Both players bomb up too much, that will leave massive spaces in the back for any team, big or small, to exploit.
Cagliari 3-3 earlier this season already proved it doesn’t work.
Hast to be Pavlovic-Gabbia/Thiaw or Tomori-Gabbia/Thiaw.
This might be the worst lineup I’ve seen, I’m sorry, but WHAT? Musah at Rb?”we’ve tried that before buddy and it wasn’t pretty. Also wtf are you ding replacing gabbia with tomori? Brain dead. Tomori is our worst CB by a mile. Gtfo of here😂
+ this is the worst ive seen too
Leave Abraham and Morata at home with a cup of hot chocolate – Take Jovic and Camarda
Honestly I’d agree. Both if those 2 at least put in 110% on the field, and don’t have a track record of missing 8 chances per game like morata and Tammy. I wouldn’t mind seeing both up top honestly
Camarda yes jovic is terrible this season. For our atackers i would rank them :
Tammy 6/10
Camarda 6/10
Okafor 5/10
Morata 3.5/10
Jovic 2/10
based on this season., ive seen all games…
Put Terra at RB, because tomori will inevitably lose focus 8 times and concede a goal for us. Either put Jovic or Camarda up top because they’ll still be more useful than morata or Abraham are every game. Thisbwoupd be the logical thing, but of course we love trying to force the same thing over and over and watching it fail again and again and again…
Jovic cannot be used.
He’s not on the UCL list.
Hasn’t been all season.
There was no space for him under UEFA rules with our list that has so few Italian players.
This is old news.
Start Terra at RB and Okafor up front
Tomori is our worst defender so I advised we go with this line up
M.maignan
Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez
Benercer, Fofana
Chukwueze, rejnder,leao
Morata
Tomori or bartasaghi, please we need Chaka Traore for attacking midfield, then liberali for chukwueze deputy since Acmilan management is finding it difficult to sign players in January.
