GdS: Allegri relies on a front three but only changes in game - why things won't change

"As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, it may not even happen at all. Written in this morning's report, it is stated that Allegri 'does not like' the idea of playing three forwards, and ultimately, why change something now? The calls for a front three against Inter are growing louder, but it appears unlikely that he will make that decision, instead preferring to stick with what has worked."

"This weekend, the change to a front three in the 60th minute worked, given his team went on to win the game. However, neither was particularly attributable to the switch. With that said, Fullkrug and Leao both had good chances as a result of the change. After the game, he spoke of the importance of tempo and utilising 'attackers' when needed."

AC Milan have primarily used a 3-5-2 formation throughout the season under Massimiliano Allegri, though he initially considered a 4-3-3 at the campaign's start. Recent speculation suggests a potential switch to a front three, particularly for matches against Inter. However, Allegri reportedly dislikes the idea of playing three forwards and prefers maintaining the current system's success. During this weekend's match, Milan switched to a 4-3-3 in the 60th minute, which created opportunities for Fullkrug and Leao, though the formation change was not directly responsible for the victory. Allegri emphasizes the importance of tempo and deploying attackers strategically, suggesting mid-game tactical adjustments may continue rather than a permanent formation change.
