"As La Gazzetta dello Sport write this morning, with the insistence on a 'corto muso' approach becoming tiresome, Milan decided to score two goals in the 90th and 94th minutes, resolving a game that was level until the end. Conceptually, however, it doesn't change much: they won by a hair's breadth again."
"He started with his usual 3-5-2, which could also be morphed into a 3-5-2-0 in the sense that the two strikers - Leao more central and Pulisic wide - act as attacking midfielders but never get into the box. Naturally, reducing everything to tactics is folly. There's also the attitude: as often happens, Milan play at a slow pace."
"Milan's initial passiveness saw Cremonese come out of their shell and attack, winning midfield duels and man-marking across the field. For half an hour, the Rossoneri remained behind the ball, never managing to truly get the ball forward at pace."
AC Milan secured a 2-0 victory against Cremonese with two goals scored in the final minutes, though the match remained competitive until the end. Milan played without a traditional centre-forward, deploying Leao and Pulisic as attacking midfielders rather than strikers in a 3-5-2 formation. The team's slow pace and passivity allowed Cremonese to compete effectively for much of the match, with the home side winning midfield duels and maintaining defensive organization. Despite having chances when put behind the defense, Milan struggled to break through until late goals secured the result. The narrow victory exemplifies Milan's recent pattern of winning by minimal margins while maintaining second place in the standings.
