"The main problem in the first half, as Allegri himself admitted post-match, was the excessive number of counter-attacks Milan allowed Lazio. Addressing Modric after yet another transition, the coach said: We're too high up the pitch, we're all above the ball and we're taking counter-attacks."
"In the second half, a different Milan emerged, and at a certain point Allegri and his staff began to consider making changes and switching from a 3-5-2 to a 4-2-3-1. The first two changes were Nkunku and Fullkrug, with the Frenchman set to play behind the German."
