"Oscar Hiljemark is still early in his tenure as Pisa head coach, but he is already thinking about a statement win against AC Milan. After the goalless draw at the Bentegodi against Verona, Tuttosport (via MilanPress) write this morning that Hiljemark is preparing for his first match in front of the Pisa home crowd, dreaming of a big scalp against the second-placed team."
"Hiljemark is deciding between sticking with the 3-4-3 system seen in Verona or going to a 3-4-1-2, an option that would gain traction if Tramoni were to be reintroduced to the starting line-up. In defence, there are certainties: Arturo Calabresi (who will be honoured for his 100th appearance for the Nerazzurri) will operate on the right, while new signing Loyola is expected to keep his spot too."
"The absence of the suspended Marin will weigh heavily in midfield, while one of the key duels will be played out on the flank: Touré's physique versus the rising Milan star Davide Bartesaghi. Although a sell-out is not expected, the Pisa crowd will respond with significant numbers to drag the team towards what would be a real jolt to the relegation battle and, by extension, to Milan's Scudetto race."
Oscar Hiljemark is early in his tenure as Pisa head coach and is targeting a statement home win against AC Milan. He arrives after a goalless draw at the Bentegodi against Verona and prepares for his first match in front of the Pisa crowd. The coach is prioritizing the mental aspect and is weighing tactical choices between a 3-4-3 and a 3-4-1-2 should Tramoni return. Defensive spots look settled with Arturo Calabresi on the right for his 100th appearance and new signing Loyola keeping his place. The suspended Marin's absence will weaken midfield and a key flank duel pits Touré's physique against Davide Bartesaghi, while a strong Pisa turnout could influence the relegation battle and Milan's Scudetto race.
