"The day before the match is one where coaches iron out their tactics. In the press conference, Allegri wanted to leave doubts about the attack. A reporter asked: "Do Leao and Nkunku have the right characteristics to play together?" The AC Milan coach replied: "I'm also curious to see how they'll play together, if I'll field them. In football, sometimes you find unexpected combinations: they both know how to play football.""
"So far, the two have shared the burden of the Rossoneri attack for only half an hour: 16 minutes in Turin against Juventus, 14 minutes at San Siro against Pisa. It is too little to determine whether the chemistry is right or not. A peculiarity: neither are a natural centre-forward. Leao has the size to be one, but his attitude and movements need work. Nkunku has the intelligence and composure in front of goal, but not the height."
A press conference raised the question of whether Leao and Nkunku have the right characteristics to play together. The reply expressed curiosity to see how they will play together and noted that unexpected combinations can work. Nkunku and Leao will start together for the first time this season, having shared only 30 minutes across two matches. Neither is a natural centre-forward: Leao has size but needs work on movements; Nkunku has intelligence and composure but lacks height. Roma will start left-footed Soulé and Dybala, who prefer wider or deeper roles.
