Milan - Atalanta Serie A Week 36
"Milan is in a crisis mode with all manners of reports and rumours of change. Fan protests have reached a new level of anger with a Furlani dismissal petition at change.org getting over 44,000 signatures as of this writing. Besides the common attitude towards Gerry Cardinale's ownership the opinion has shifted against everyone. Tare, Allegri and down the squad. Many more would now agree that the team needs another revolution, as the term that is often used."
"Allegri's style is well known, the players and formations have handicapped the offense with a goal scoring production that threatens to bring down the coach's and the teams Champions League qualification objective. This would of course have many financial and sporting consequences. Rumours are plentiful and they involve replacements for Tare (Atalanta's Tony D'Amico) and Allegri (the likes of Bologna's Vincenzo Italiano, not for the first time linked to Milan)."
"The team is set to look differently for this very crucial match. Modric's absence seemed to have handed Jashari a starting place but that changed midweek with Ricci the favorite for the middle. Fofana is apparently dropped after being an option for his own and the middle of the five's spot vacated by the Croatian. Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Rabiot and Bartesaghi are the likely starters. Tomori's red in the Sassuolo match added another dimension for critiscm towards the English defender and his suspension means De Winter will start with Gabbia and Pavlovic."
"The front two in this 3-5-2 has been the greatest contentious issue for Milan. Milan's thin squad with effectively two true center forwards (Fullkrug and Gimenez) is probably the biggest story of this, now in crisis, season. The coach's and management's insistence on this -"
Milan is in a crisis, with fan protests escalating and a dismissal petition for Gerry Cardinale’s ownership gathering over 44,000 signatures. Criticism has expanded beyond ownership to Tare, Allegri, and the squad, with calls for another revolution. Allegri’s approach is seen as limiting the offense, producing low goal scoring that jeopardizes Champions League qualification and could trigger financial and sporting consequences. Rumors suggest possible replacements for both Tare and Allegri, including Tony D’Amico and Vincenzo Italiano. With Como and Juventus winning, Milan must win its remaining three fixtures. The lineup is expected to change: Modric’s absence initially favored Jashari, but Ricci is now favored. Fofana is dropped, and Tomori’s red leads to De Winter starting alongside Gabbia and Pavlovic. The front two in a 3-5-2 system remains a major point of contention due to a thin squad and limited true center forwards.
