"They're quite capable of finding the centre-forward position in rotation. The important thing is that they don't provide any reference points, [and that they] they take advantage of the characteristics they have and can do much better."
"I don't know, the most important game is tonight. After tonight, we'll see who can play in Florence. We've recovered almost all the players, we hope to get Nkunku back too, otherwise it'll be the next one in Como. The others are more or less all fine. When you start doing the math, things start to come out wrong."
"I always say that at the end of the year, the numbers balance out. Leao and Pulisic are scoring, Nkunku has started scoring, Fullkrug will too, the midfielders will start scoring, as will the defenders from dead-ball situations. We have to stay in the game. If we slack off, we pay"
Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic can rotate into the centre-forward role and avoid providing fixed reference points while exploiting their individual characteristics. Milan host Genoa at San Siro in the first home game of 2026 with pressure to win to keep pace with Inter, Juventus and Roma, and to capitalise on Napoli dropping points. Matteo Gabbia has recovered from a knee issue and returns to the starting lineup alongside Strahinja Pavlovic and Davide Bartesaghi, with Christian Pulisic partnering Leao. The squad has largely recovered, Nkunku is hoped to return soon, and midfielders and defenders must add goals.
