A luxurious substitute of hundreds of millions! MiTi: Milan s lineup is strong, players of Leo are all substitutes

"Milan Sports" wrote an article pointing out that AC Milan's real strength this season is based on its strong bench depth, which is even more important than having top coach Allegri. In modern football, the real value of a team is more reflected in the bench than the starting eleven.

Italian media believes that the coach's tactical style (whether defense or counter-control) depends on the player configuration of his subordinates. Now that Milan's lineup has been upgraded, Allegri can adopt more proactive tactics.

The article takes the game against Napoli as an example. On the bench of Milan, Derwent, Ricci, Chick, Nkunku and Leo, at least five starting players, whose total value is as high as about 200 million euros. The team's most expensive signing this summer (39 million euros Yashari) is about to return from injury, further enhancing the thickness of the lineup. At the same time, the team also reserves potential new stars such as Odogu, which are expected to replicate the successful cases of signing Sheila with 6 million euros that year and cultivating him into a top defender.

Milan has no European war mission, which makes its bench depth advantage more obvious. In the Devil's schedule in the next month, Milan's five main opponents (Naples, Juventus, etc.) will play three more high-intensity European games than Milan.

The article ends up emphasizing that no other team can place players of Leo's level on the bench like Milan as a "backhand" to change the situation.
