AC Milan asks Marco Giampaolo for answer. There are three situations to be clarified and defined as soon as possible. Maybe already with the derby, which would be ideal reports Tuttosport. The first aspect concerns the game. Because it is quite clear that Milan, in these first three rounds of Serie A, has not enchanted at all. Indeed, at times, the maneuver was soporific without any encouraging signals, perhaps even less incisive than Gennaro Gattuso’s Milan.
In fact, we are still far from the idea of champagne football that Giampaolo has in mind and has always showcased with his teams. So when Zvonimir Boban says he expected to be ahead at this stage, he does refer to an identity that is still missing. To find it as soon as possible, the coach must first of all set up a definitive formation. And that spurious 4-3-1-2, in this regard, not only did not fully convince, but also created a lot of confusion among the players themselves.
The other hot topic concerns the lack of summer signings in the starting eleven. Together they have played just 155 minutes in total, 20 minutes for Rafael Leao, 90 of Ismael Bennacer and 45 minutes for the latest arrival Ante Rebic.
Giampaolo opts for a period of apprenticeship before the great exam on the pitch but the management is convinced that it has made available to him new players that could immediately increase the quality of the squad. Therefore, the introduction of the new ones is expected, especially of players like Theo Hernandez, Bennacer and Rafael Leao.
Finally there is the question concerning Lucas Paqueta. Solved the post-Verona controversy, with the club deciding not to fine the player, it’s time for the coach must find his right position on the pitch. Elliott Management Corporation invested €35 million for the Brazilian but the 21-year-old is struggling in this start of the season.
The management is hoping for a quick and definitive decision regarding his position: central midfielder or trequartista. Whether it is one or the other, Giampaolo must make a final decision as soon as possible.
