It was surprising Allegri didn’t replicate the system he used in Milan’s 1-0 win over Juve earlier in the season, with Boateng as a false nine pressuring Pirlo – Sulley Muntari, who was forced to replace Ambrosini through injury at half-time anyway, could have played Boateng’s central midfield role.
However, a couple of times Juventus had a problem at defensive transitions.
With Vucinic alone upfront – even if Marchisio was in close support – it felt like more Juventus midfielders had a responsibility to support him.
At one point, Marchisio, Vidal and Pogba all made forward runs in advance of the Montenegrin, but when he lost the ball, Juve found themselves with three of their four midfielders out of the game, and Pirlo alone in front of the defence trying to stop a Milan break.
Flanks
With the midfield zone neutralised aside from Pirlo – who looked to pass to the flank anyways – and both Vucinic and Pazzini quiet, the wings seemed to be an important area of the pitch.
This was where Milan, in their 4-3-3 system, really should have thrived – but both Robinho and Stephan El Shaarawy were quiet, unable to collect the ball on the run to motor past Juve’s outside centre-backs, which is what they’d done excellently in the reverse game.
However, with Juve’s centre-backs often occupied, there was space for Milan’s full-backs to get forward.
Ignazio Abate was significantly more attacking than Kevin Constant, and good balls from Montolivo found him racing down the flank a couple of times – although he could never quite find the right cross.
) But I will be flying across to come to the Lazio game, really Hope Milan can pull it off and get the title back where it belongs!
