Milan, 15 May 2022 – As happened last year for access to the Champions League, the crucial point of the season Milan will still go from a challenge toAtalanta. Today at 6pm, in fact, the Rossoneri will face the Orobics in front of a San Siro Gremito, with the aim of bringing home three points that could also be worth the Scudetto. In the event of a victory or a draw and a misstep by Inter in Cagliari, the tricolor party could also be anticipated. Pioli will focus once again on 4-2-3-1 and on a formation that makes physicality and compactness his strong point. Between the poles Maignan, protected by a defensive line made up of Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori and Theo Hernandez. In the median, the couple should instead be formed by Tonali and Kessié, while on the trocar – in support of Giroud – Saelemaekers, Krunic and Leao should act.
Gasperini’s choices
The stakes are also high for the Nerazzurri, looking for precious points in a European key. Gasperini should rely on the tried and tested 3-4-1-2: in the door Musso with in front of him a pack of three formed by Djimsiti, Demiral and Palomino. The bands will be the responsibility of Maehle and Zappacosta while in the center of the field the tandem will be formed by De Roon and Freuler. Finally, the role of finisher behind Muriel and Malinovskyi will most likely be covered by Koopmeiners.
