"AC Milan take on Bologna this evening away from home, and it is a contest that could well be decided in the middle of the park. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) write, it is a match will feature a number of interesting clashes, especially in midfield. Lewis Ferguson and Remo Freuler will face off against Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot (as well as Youssouf Fofana) in the respective engine rooms."
"His team suffered greatly from the quality of Modric but above all from the physicality of Rabiot and Fofana, so according this evening the coach will draw a dam to contain the Rossoneri midfield. The idea is to remove Odgaard and play Ferguson in the attacking midfield role, to have a player who can better support Freuler. One between Moro or Pobega would then get the nod."
"One between Moro or Pobega would then get the nod, with the aim of making sure there is enough physicality in the trio. Massimiliano Allegri on the other hand seems oriented to use what has become his first choice midfield three this season: Fofana, Modric and Rabiot. With the two Frenchmen and the Croatian, the Milan boss thinks he has the quality and the muscle in both phases."
AC Milan visit Bologna in a match likely decided by midfield duels featuring Lewis Ferguson and Remo Freuler against Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana. Vincenzo Italiano plans to add physicality and defensive cover by removing Odgaard, deploying Ferguson in the attacking midfield to support Freuler, and choosing between Moro or Pobega to complete a more robust trio. Massimiliano Allegri appears set to field his preferred midfield of Fofana, Modric and Rabiot, banking on the combination of technical quality and physical strength to control both phases of play. The game hinges on balancing creativity and muscle in central areas.
