Conceiçao against the little ones can use the former Chelsea from second tip in a “four -star” attack. In recent years, however, the Portuguese has often played on the left: Rafa will have more competition (but a little rest will now do it well)
The twins have returned to live together. Rafa Leao and Joao Felix were born in 1999, they are Portuguese and have the same tastes: they play better on the left, where they can create. Of course, they are different. Rafa makes the difference with the tear, acceleration, physical strength. Joao with the elegant touch, the idea, the intelligent filter. Can they play together? Nice question, central for the future of Milan. The most logical answer is yes, under certain conditions.
The four stars
–
Milan fans see the extraordinary winter market and have hope: Pulisic, Joao Felix, Leao and Gimenez on the field together. Yes, it is possible in a very offensive 4-3-1, similar to the one with which Fonseca won the first leg. Joao Felix was also taken for this, to do the 10. Conceiçao is more prudent but loves the two points and Joao seems perfect in this: he can make the second tip, near Gimenez, taking advantage of his ability to play on the bank. It would be a very creative Milan, potentially very dangerous, with logical equilibrium issues: those four do not work particularly in the defensive phase … and Fofana-Reijlders cannot do everything alone.
Rest for Leao
–
Conceiçao will work on it from the next few days in the very few workouts available between one game and another. Here, the calendar is also a key for offensive rotations. With a game every 3-4 days, Conceiçao will revolve a lot, probably in a more conservative 4-2-3-1, with Musah wide on the right, or in a 4-3-3. Joao Felix will thus be able to play in the beloved left -wing exterior position, with some rest shifts for Rafa Leao, who for a couple of weeks is not 100%. Even when it was replaced at the 45th minute in Milan-Parma, he was unable to continue.
The ideal trident
–
The possible combinations are many and everyone can choose the favorite. Some examples. Leo da Punta, with Pulisic on the right and Joao Felix on the left. Joao Felix on the right, with Leao and Gimenez to complete the trident. An alternative solution with tip Tammy Abraham. A matter of taste, but there is a certainty: preparing the games against Milan from today will be less simple.
