Does Milan play better without Leao? This is sure to be one of the hottest topics over the international break. As far as I’m concerned, we don’t yet have enough evidence to answer that question.Yesterday’s match tells us little: in the first half the team played poorly, in the second half well. We may need more matches to solve the Leao puzzle.The question of the team’s style of play, regardless of the Portuguese player, will come to the fore in the summer.He will need to improve next season. Allegri and his coaching staff will need to improve the team’s performance, aided by the transfer market, which must bring in top-class players. It must be said that Milan scored three goals, yet none were scored by their centre-forwards. Four strikers took to the pitch, and not one of them came close to posing a threat. This speaks volumes about the attack, a problem that becomes more evident with every passing match. We’ll see if Gimenez can climb the rankings, although the club’s management are keen to sell him in the summer. Pulisic, apart from his assist, is still far from his best form. Then there are the two lost causes: Fullkrug and Nkunku.The German was poor right from the start: he had a very poor game. In the first half, Milan often played long balls and he never got on the end of one. Generally speaking, he never helped the team build up play or made a decent lay-off. He certainly won’t be staying: he was signed for free, but one could still have expected a bit more.And then there’s Nkunku, who cost a lot more than the German, and who now seems downright listless whenever he takes to the pitch.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingIt has been a very positive weekend for Milan: barring a collapse, with a nine-point lead over Juventus, the Champions League should be in the bag. This is a crucial milestone in sporting terms and, of course, in financial terms too (and therefore also in terms of the transfer market).
