Hi All,
I am sure you are all aware of the struggles this sleeping giant is going through, although they have made some progression under Gattuso.
I read an article recently that explained that although strong defensively they do not provide enough support nor deploy the correct tactics going forward.
Higuain is a gem in the box and isn't being utilized in the correct manner to produce his magic. The article suggested Milan need to stretch the opposition defence in order to give Higuain the room to produce, but playing the likes of Suso who cuts in compresses the opposition defence. This in turn choking the much needed room for Higuain to operate.
Now the simple way to resolve this is to play a basic 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1, but I don't like playing the simplistic yet solid 4-4-2 nor do I like the idea of playing Higuain on his own. I want to combine him with speed, energy and determination! I want Higuain to be the legend Milan deserve! I want him to show other strikers the way to become a gem!
But how?
I have, with great deliberation, decided on 4-2-1-3 with three strikers not wingers, I want direct fast paced football, harass and harry the opponent, I want in their face football, sweeping moves transitioning defence to attack in seconds.
I would like to stretch the defence of the opposition with wingers but it doesn't feel right. Instead I want to drown them in an ocean wave of red and black. I want to swarm them like red and black killer bees. I want them lost in their own stadiums with no sight of escape!
I have already started clearing out dead weight and players that do not fit my new (and probably flawed) idea for AC Milan. So my transfer budget is overly healthy, I have started by bringing in Jemerson from Monaco to partner Romagnoli. I am looking at Berardi to play upfront with Higuain.
What I currently have is a predicament of who to buy where but also what can I attract? The Milan name doesn't seem to carry as much swagger as it used to. I need players who will get us to the next level and beyond! But who wants to lift a giant when they can ride on the shoulders of the ones currently standing?
I call on my fellow managers to hear my call (cry) for help as my sanity hangs by a thread. Please tell me this is not a waste of time. Please tell me I will help this Titan regain its former glory. Please tell me I know what I am doing! Please tell me anything!
Thank you all kind sirs, ladies and all who do not recognize those titles.
