It’s the problem that on paper every manager would love to have, but in practice, the fact that AC Milan have seven forwards(count ‘em) for two positions on the pitch could create some issues, that frankly, Masimilliano Allegri doesn’t really need.
The Rossoneri forward line has changed dramatically in the last 12 months. A roster that this time last year contained Ronaldinho, Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Marco Borriello, was swept aside in favor of revolution that Allegri proved at Milanello. With the help of the money that Silvio Berlusconi has not pushed down the waistband of one of his “friends” and Galliani’s houndog like nose for a bargain, Allegri was able to challenge for the title last season with the likes of Robinho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in addition to Alexandre Pato, Pippo Inzaghi and the aforementioned Ronaldinho.
The “Fab Four” plus Inzaghi provided more than a few headaches for Allegri in the first half of the season, many wondering if the new man would try and fit them all in one line up,reminiscent of Brazil 2006, but the former Cagliari man decided to go for balance rather than a potentially suicidal offensive formation, and effectively ending Ronaldinho’s time at Milan, the former Barcelona playmaker simply not hard working enough to fit into Allegri’s plans, and when January came – ‘Dinho was out the door.
