"The criticism had been mounting on the manager to change something, but this almost felt insincere to an extent. The whole situation wasn't helped by the fact that he opted for Leao as the centre-forward, which we all knew would fail."
"Milan were left really exposed at the back, especially in transition as there was a ton of space for Udinese to operate in. Personnel questions can also be asked here: Why didn't Tomori, who is way more comfortable in a back four, play from start?"
"As a centre-forward, Leao struggled to impose himself in the box and also to find the right positions on the pitch. Often when there was a crossing chance, he was nowhere near the penalty spot."
AC Milan faced a disappointing defeat against Udinese, conceding three goals and failing to show resilience after a previous loss. The team's formation change, particularly the decision to play Leao as a centre-forward, was criticized for its timing and effectiveness. Milan's defense appeared vulnerable, especially during transitions, leading to questions about player selections. The overall performance prompted speculation about reverting to a more traditional formation for their upcoming match against Verona.
