"The 3-5-2 had failed to provide any offence and it was thought returning Leao and Pulisic to a more natural wider role will free them to create."
"A 4-3-3 resulted in a broken defensive phase. Midfielders and defenders who have certainly spent more of their career playing in a 4-3-3 seemed lost."
"Gabbia has recovered and should be a welcome return to a back three, Tomori should regain his spot along side Pavlovic."
"Verona are tied for last with Pisa. I Gialloblu are almost certainly going down to Serie B. On paper this is a good match up for Milan but history tells a different story."
The switch to a 4-3-3 formation did not yield the expected attacking improvements for AC Milan, resulting in defensive breakdowns. Key players like Leao and Pulisic were expected to thrive in wider roles, but the team struggled offensively. With a top-four finish at risk, a return to the 3-5-2 formation is anticipated. Gabbia's recovery and Tomori's return to the lineup are positive signs, but concerns remain about the form of several midfielders. The team's chances of redeeming a purchase option for a player are diminishing.
