"AC Milan's narrow win against Pisa didn't just come about thanks to the brilliance of Luka Modric, but also some tactical changes from Allegri. As highlighted in today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see featured image), a one-two started and finished by Modric, with the help of Samuele Ricci, saved Milan from dropping points yet again. Instead, they moved within five points of Inter, who are up against Juventus tonight."
"In the first half, as the pink newspaper continues, Milan were unwatchable for most of the time due to a very slow build-up. Pisa's cautious, hunched-back attitude certainly had an impact too. For half an hour, nothing happened, zero excitement and plenty of yawning. After that, however, the game came to life. Pisa created a good chance that forced Mike Maignan to a very good save, and while replays showed it was offside, it acted as a wake-up call for Milan."
"Ruben Loftus-Cheek was the one who broke the deadlock in the 39th minute, after a great cross by Zachary Athekame from the right. Playing well or poorly makes no difference; scoring is the only thing that matters, the maximum with the minimum. All things we've seen and heard before. Crucial tactical changes, and back again... At the start of the second half, the referee disallowed a lovely Adrien Rabiot strike for a handball on Niclas Füllkrug."
AC Milan won narrowly over Pisa after a one-two between Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci and tactical adjustments that shifted momentum late. The result extended Milan's unbeaten league streak to 23 matches and moved them within five points of Inter. Milan produced a slow first half against a cautious Pisa, but Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored from a Zachary Athekame cross in the 39th minute. A disallowed Adrien Rabiot strike and a Niclas Füllkrug missed penalty allowed Pisa to threaten early in the second half. Allegri's formation changes late in the match restored Milan's control and preserved the victory, reinforcing their Scudetto credentials.
