Milan, far from offensive poker: the team is unbalanced and the Rossoneri’s attack blunted
Milan, altro che poker delle meraviglie: l’attacco dei rossoneri è da incubo – SerieAnews
Seventh place in the standings with 41 points, eight less than fourth-place Juventus but with one match to make up, the direct clash with Bologna scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27. Milan thus ended a nightmarish week that started very badly, with elimination in the Champions League play-offs at the hands of Feyenoord, not quite Real Madrid.
The turning point in the championship was expected and instead another disaster came: a defeat against Torino, with Maignan’s resounding duck and Pulisic’s missed penalty. In short, a real disaster in Rossoneri sauce that has deepened the crisis and, above all, raised the antennae in Via Aldo Rossi.
The management is not happy with Sergio Conceiçao’s work, it cannot be. The Italian Super Cup in the trophy cabinet is an alibi that is already over, also because the up-and-down performance in the league with Fonseca on the bench was confirmed even after the arrival of the former Porto man.
Milan, attacco spuntato: la classifica è impietosa
So many problems in the Rossoneri’s house are holding the team back, among them also and above all an attack that just does not take off. The numbers are definitely deficit. At the beginning of the season they started with Morata – who arrived to solve all the problems of the attack – and Abraham as his deputy.

In January the Spaniard was unceremoniously dumped, sold to Galatasaray, and from Feyenoord came Gimenez. Not content, Milan also signed Joao Felix, forming a cracking poker with Pulisic and Rafa Leao. The result? Only 37 goals to their credit since the start of the season, one more than Roma for the eighth-largest attack in Serie A.
If Inter and Atalanta lead with 59 goals to their credit, ahead of the Rossoneri are also Lazio (47), Juventus (43), Napoli (42), Fiorentina (41) and Bologna (38). Milan scores poorly and that is a huge problem for Conceiçao to remedy. While Gimenez has shown so far that he can score plenty, with three goals in six games, there are definitely other problems at the Rossoneri.
Squadra squilibrata, palla a Conceicao: deve porre rimedio
Above all, a tactical balance that is lacking and leads Milan to be always uncovered. Leao, Joao Felix and Pulisic behind Gimenez: those who imagined they had found the magic formula were sorely mistaken. The two offensive outsides, Rafa and the American, cannot guarantee coverage and so the team appears without tactical balance and often unbalanced going forward that relies on the plays of individuals.
The result is a team split in two and depowered without any kind of tactical balance. And the results are visible for all to see, for a championship that is in danger of becoming disastrous. It is up to Conceiçao to find the square, not least because the coach’s performance is under scrutiny.
