Gazzetta: The probable starting formation of Gattuso’s Milan
Now that AC Milan have appointed Gennaro Gattuso as new coach some changes are expected in the starting lineup and game philosophy.
Intensity, aggressiveness and clear ideas. Gennaro Gattuso’s AC Milan certainly, regardless of the tactical insights and the modules chosen in the future, must have all these important features the new coach reflects.
The Calabrian coach, according to what La Gazzetta dello Sport hypothesizes, should tactically make Milan play on the same line of his Primavera that in recent months has achieved excellent results in the youngsters championship. So the 3-4-3 should be the starting formation, which would in fact fit a lot with the qualities of the group at his disposal.
So some changes in strategies and hierarchies should be made starting from the Sunday’s match against Benevento. The stable formation should include Donnarumma undisputed between the posts, confirming the defense of three with Zapata, Bonucci and Romagnoli the most suitable to play from the first minute. On the sides, possible relaunch of Abate (former teammate of Gattuso) on the right and Rodriguez confirmed on the left. In the middle, Kessie will be accompanied by one between Lucas Biglia and Montolivo. Finally the attack: Gattuso should return to play with the old forward trio with Suso and Bonaventura wide and Kalinic as sole striker. The new coach could change the role of Andre Silva, who in the starting 3-4-3 can also be used as a winger rather than as a centre-forward.
