I’ll keep this simple. Historically, when Milan loses its best players, we don’t recover well. Keeping Leão is an absolute must. Time to move on with this conversation.
The issue is he is so ball dominant that he has to deliver more. The play of the game is so heavily weighted to the Left side you can’t be that inconsistent. It’s clear the tactics are work the ball along the left and dribble or cross cut in deliver a pass. But that requires players guessing where to make runs and to stay on side. And then the teams caught out of position on the counter and giving up soft goals.
We just cant build a team around a player (as good as he is) that can by himself win you only 1 in 5 games. You guys are right, a winger cannot be the focal point. it had to be someone who plays in the centre, J Felix, TJ or Santi going forward. A world class spine wins a scudetto or UCL
So listening to the podcast and noting that the feeling was Pulisic was bad. The curiosity is in what way or instances? The offsides on the corner was not well played granted. Otherwise what was it that made the analysis he was bad in the Wed match? Rewatching he made his runs and rarely got service. 3/4 of the play was again slanted to the Left. Wasn’t bad w his defense. Wasn’t turning the ball over. What was it then that characterized his play as bad? I’m admittedly a biased Pulisic supporter so I’m asking genuinely for feedback
