Fullkrug 'betrays', Modric no. Milan continues its pursuit
Luka Modric's last-minute equalizer helps Milan maintain their positive streak, but pivotal errors threaten their momentum.
In a thrilling match, Luka Modric scored a crucial goal for Milan just before the final whistle, enabling them to continue their winning streak in the league. However, the game had its share of drama, notably with Fullkrug missing a penalty that could have sealed the victory for Milan earlier, as well as the unfortunate expulsion of Rabiot, who will be unavailable in their next match against Como, which could significantly impact the team's performance.
Milan faced strategic challenges as Pisa, under their new coach Hiljemark, adopted a 3-5-2 formation to counteract Milan's attacking style. Instead of aggressively pressing forward, Pisa opted to draw Milan into their half, aiming to capitalize on any mistakes. This tactic exposed weaknesses in Milan’s play, particularly in their passing and ability to create effective offensive opportunities, necessitating managerial adjustments from coach Max Allegri.
Despite these setbacks, the resilience demonstrated by Milan, highlighted by Modric's decisive contribution, suggests that they remain strong contenders in the league. The match underscored the importance of composure and tactical flexibility as they continue to chase their league ambitions, even as they must navigate the consequences of missed opportunities and disciplinary issues in upcoming fixtures.
