"All of AC Milan's frailties were on display in the collapse against Parma, but Massimiliano Allegri hopes a couple of returns will help. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Allegri's assessment of the game in Parma was that his side lacked an ability to adapt to the various moments of the match, to withstand the pressure from the home side and take the sting out of the game."
"With Rabiot, Milan have much more balance. With him on the pitch in four league games, they've won three, drawn one and most importantly conceded only one goal (a penalty) against Napoli. Before the injury suffered while playing for Italy, Adrien had always been a starter and never been substituted. He had a total of 450 minutes played, the entire time available,"
AC Milan surrendered a two-goal lead against Parma, exposing tactical rigidity and an inability to manage game momentum. The team lacked experienced midfield balance to withstand Parma's pressure. Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic were absent during the collapse, reducing composure and impact. Rabiot, 30, has extensive experience at PSG, Juventus and with France and provides intelligence, passing and dynamism. With Rabiot in four league matches Milan won three, drew one and conceded only one goal (a penalty). His calf injury after an international call-up removed a consistent starter who had logged 450 uninterrupted minutes. Since his absence Milan's results have been more inconsistent.
