"The Winter Olympics is dominating the Italian media at the moment, but AC Milan are hoping to keep pace in a race of their own tonight. There are a couple of oddities about how Milan enter the game against Pisa. Firstly, it will be their sixth away game in the last nine in Serie A, because of a scheduling quirk. Secondly, due to the postponement of the Como game, it is 10 days since the Rossoneri last played."
"Nonetheless, there can be no excuses and three points is a must against a side that have won once all season, especially given that Inter play Juventus and Napoli host Roma this weekend. Below is how the front pages look in Italy this morning. It must be noted that the papers are rightly dominated by the exploits of Federica Brignone, the Italian alpine ski racer who won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics on Friday."
"La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Milan on the attack with Nkunku, trying to scare Chivu. The early match of the round against Pisa is at 20:45 CET: mission -5." Inside paper: "Allegri votes for Nkunku. The Frenchman leads the way, Milan are pushing to beat Pisa and scare Chivu. Tomori will be the first to sign. The club are also calling Modric. Leao, future in red and black." QS: "Milan in Pisa with Pulisic back. Allegri will have Leao on the bench." This slideshow requires JavaScript."
AC Milan face Pisa tonight and require three points. Milan have had six away games in their last nine Serie A fixtures due to scheduling, and it has been 10 days since their last match after the Como postponement. Pisa have won once all season, increasing pressure on Milan. Several Italian papers highlight Federica Brignone's Winter Olympics gold; Brignone is a Milanista. Headlines emphasize Nkunku's role, Christian Pulisic's return, and Rafael Leão starting on the bench. Reports mention Fikayo Tomori as a likely signing and speculation that the club have contacted Luka Modrić.
