Matchday 26 of Serie A will bring Milan a duel against Atalanta, which is just behind them in the standings. Pioli's team arrives after a defeat by one goal in the Europa League, which has allowed them to advance to the round due to their victory in the first leg. The objective is clear, to secure the Champions League places, and who knows whether to intimidate the teams that are higher up and be able to get closer for the remainder of the season.
Below, we leave you the possible eleven that Stefano Pioli could have on green for this important match:
BY: MAIGNAN – The French goalkeeper has Pioli's absolute confidence. Confident under the sticks and with good footwork, the player is a very important asset in the Italian team's schemes, which is why he will start in this important clash.
LD: FLORENCE – Starting in the Europa League match, Florenci continues to be an important asset for Milan. Both he and Calabria are taking turns playing the Milan team's games, but for this one, Pioli will continue to trust the Italian side.
DFC: THIAW – The Finnish German defender has played just 12 Serie A games with the Italian team, but it is true that it is not due to a lack of confidence, but rather a lack of rest, since in Europe he has played all the games except one for his team, 5 in the Champions League. and the two from the Europa League.
DFC: GABBIA – The center-back was recovered by the Milan team after his loan in the Spanish league due to a lack of assets in defense. The Italian player did not convince in Spain, so he has an opportunity here to redeem himself and show that he can contribute to a big team.
LI: THEO HERNÁNDEZ – Become one of the best full-backs in recent seasons in Europe, his contribution in attack is key in Pioli's plans. With great power, he has great ease in running down the left flank, and his free kicks are one of the team's main weapons. rossoneri.
MC: BENNACER – The French Algerian midfielder is not enjoying a large number of minutes this season either and has not played more than ten games so far. Pioli cannot find a place for him where he can be different and that is taking its toll on him.
MC: ADLI – This Yacine Adli is twenty-three years old and has already played more than 900 minutes in the Milan shirt this year in Serie A, and if we add all the competitions, he has already enjoyed being in more than 20 games. A good midfielder who provides security on occasions reaching the front.
ED: CHUKWUEZE – The former Villareal player is not being as good a signing as expected, and two goals and one assist this season are not enough for the Nigerian winger, but the more than twenty games played show that Pioli trusts him and is not going to Stop putting it on until it works and you adapt.
MCO: LOFTUS-CHEEK – The English offensive midfielder is the link between the midfielders and the attackers. He moves very well between the lines, and with his great height and physical power, he is a great option to join the finishing line from the second line.
EI: OKAFOR – Noha has been another of this year's signings by the red and black team and already has 4 goals under his belt and 22 games played. A fast winger, with dribbling and the ability to overwhelm the wing, one of those you always want to have on your team.
DC: GIROUD – The veteran French forward continues to contribute with goals and good play for the benefit of his team. A great reference in the attack of Pioli's team, with a great ability to head and a left foot closely linked to the goal. Without a doubt a great threat to rival defenses.
