"Since the new year, it cannot be denied that Milan have been a little toothless in attack. Rafael Leao has found the net three times, whilst Christian Pulisic has failed to score a goal in 2025 so far. In other words, it needs addressing."
"Instead of 'ground play', Füllkrug would allow a more vertical and direct game to be played, which could be beneficial. Additionally, it would lessen the responsibilities of Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, both of whom appear to be struggling still."
AC Milan has experienced offensive difficulties since the new year, with Rafael Leao scoring only three times and Christian Pulisic failing to score in 2025. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is considering tactical adjustments to address these issues. Niclas Füllkrug, typically used in a supporting role since his arrival, could receive a rare starting opportunity. This change would enable a more vertical and direct attacking approach rather than ground-based play. The shift would also reduce pressure on Leao and Pulisic, both of whom are not performing at full capacity and could benefit from reduced responsibility.
