"AC Milan are currently preparing for an important clash against Sassuolo, hoping to keep their spot at the top of the standings. As a report highlights, thanks to Massimiliano Allegri, they definitely deserve to be there. As highlighted by today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), the moves of Allegri are just as important as the goals of Leao-Pulisic, Modric's leadership, Rabiot's consistency, Maignan's saves and the solidity of the defence."
"Pulisic is the obvious one, scoring the brace against Torino last time out, but the win was also the result of Samuele Ricci's entrance and Loftus-Cheek's move from midfield to striker and finally right wingback. Saelemaekers was also moved to the left with great success. Allegri may lose his head when his players don't do as he says, or the referee makes an incorrect (in his opinion) call, but he's always composed when it comes to the decision-making."
Massimiliano Allegri's tactical management has been as crucial to Milan's success as individual contributions from Leao, Pulisic, Modric, Rabiot and Maignan. Allegri achieves results despite having fewer options than rival coaches by making targeted, high-impact decisions and positional adjustments such as moving Loftus-Cheek to striker and Saelemaekers to the left. Injuries and a reduced squad have limited available players, forcing a low number of substitutions, but substitutions typically produce tangible effects. Milan has made 47 substitutions so far, the lowest average in Serie A and the fewest among teams in Europe's top five leagues.
