At the “Maradona” the Milan coach built a tactical masterpiece. And not just for the transition from 4-2-3-1 to 4-1-4-1
The move was so evident and intelligible that everyone noticed it. Stefano Pioli’s masterpiece was built on a rather clear variation compared to the usual game system: usually Milan starts with the 4-2-3-1, at the Maradona stadium his coach instead lined up with the 4- 1-4-1, with Tonali placed in front of the defense, Kessie and Bennacer on the same forward line as Messias and Leao.
