Milan v Pisa: Leao and Gimenez start, Nzola leads for Pisa | OneFootball

Everything is ready at San Siro for the early match of the eighth Serie A round between Milan and Pisa. It’s a clash with a fresh flavor, as both teams are determined to continue their journey with a crucial win for the standings, especially for the Rossoneri, who could extend their lead over second place to 4 points.

San Siro welcomes Milan-Pisa: Allegri changes up front, Gilardino confirms Albiol at the heart of defense

Massimiliano Allegri surprises everyone with his choices: the Rossoneri coach starts the offensive duo of Leao and Gimenez from the first minute, a combination never tried before this season. In midfield, Ricci and Bartesaghi are given space, forced to go above and beyond to make up for the significant absences of Estupinan and Rabiot. Modric will be the reference point in the central area, while Saelemaekers and Fofana will operate on the wings, ready to provide both drive and cover. On the other side, Alberto Gilardino is banking on continuity. The Pisa coach confirms the backline led by Albiol, with the Spanish veteran called upon to bring order and personality to a unit that will have to contain Leao’s bursts of speed. Up front, faith is placed in the attacking tandem of Nzola and Meister, with Tramoni and Touré ready to support offensive moves from the flanks.

The official lineups: Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Leao. Coach: Allegri. Pisa (3-5-2): Semper; Caracciolo, Albiol, Canestrelli; Touré, Akinsanmiro, Aebischer, Tramoni, Bonfanti; Nzola, Meister. Coach: Gilardino.
