GdS: Milan 'waiting for the turning point' as Leao-Pulisic attack struggles so far

"As seen below, Gazzetta dello Sport writes this morning that they have only scored two goals together and everyone, but especially Massimiliano Allegri, is waiting for things to change. Parma at the weekend was the first game without a goal since Sergio Conceicao's time at the club, and it brought up an uncomfortable conversation."

"Together, the Portuguese-American combination have played 377 minutes, scoring only once each, albeit with both struggling. Perhaps Max will persist with the formula, hoping that they can turn a corner. If they cannot, though, solutions are there."

"It is an unfortunate reality for Milan, and in the rare occasions that they have played together, they have not really worked. Of course, it could be argued that they have never been 100% at the same time, but still, the point remains."

Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao, who transitioned into striker roles at the start of the season, have failed to perform effectively as a partnership despite individual potential. Injuries have plagued both players throughout the season, often preventing them from playing at full strength simultaneously. In their limited time together on the pitch, they have managed only two goals combined. While each player has scored eight goals individually, their combined output of one goal in 377 minutes falls short of expectations. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is seeking solutions to maximize attacking output, with alternatives like Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Füllkrug available if the current pairing continues to underdeliver.
