Mazzara questions whether 3-5-2 may limit Milan in certain games: "Might be interesting"

"The question that arises is: isn't the 3-5-2, in certain situations, a tactical solution that limits Milan a bit?"

"Yesterday, Füllkrug demonstrated he can be an excellent support for his teammates, setting up Pulisic twice (his worst performance in front of goal since joining Milan) and lowering Fiorentina, allowing the team to push forward."

"In a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, it might be interesting to see how Milan, one of the few teams to play with strong midfielders capable of getting to the cross, could develop their game."

Massimiliano Allegri switched AC Milan to a 4-3-3 while chasing a game, producing a draw that has prompted tactical reassessment. The team originally deployed a 3-5-2 under Allegri, but early poor results prompted a change back to four at the back. The 4-3-3 delivered visible benefits in Florence and could become a more regular option. Observers note that limitations might stem from the three-back system rather than player quality. Füllkrug's support play and chance creation highlighted how different formations alter player impact. Consideration of 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 focuses on exploiting strong midfielders and crossing opportunities.
