Massimiliano Allegri has been officially appointed as AC Milan’s new head coach following last week’s negotiations.
Allegri is an experienced head coach who knows Milan very well since he coached the team from 2010 to 2014, winning the 18th Serie A title for Milan in 2010/2011 in addition to winning the Supercoppa Italiana in 2011.
This tactical analysis article will present Allegri’s footballing ideas and principles and explain how these ideas and tactics can suit Milan’s players and form.
The analysis will also explore the transfer market needs that Allegri would benefit from to build a stronger squad than last season.
As we have seen with many of Europe’s top teams this season, attacking wingers can often be the difference-makers in close matches.
With many teams defending deep, inside their own defensive third, and crowding out the central areas, having a player who can go by a full-back and take defenders out of the game is almost an essential weapon.
This tactical analysis will provide examples of how coaches can develop their wingers’ attacking attributes on the training ground.
This includes developing their individual skills and techniques and involving their wide playmakers in combination play.
The practices are designed to develop key individual skills required by top-level attacking wingers, previously analysed in this tactical theory on wingers.
The movements and traits of high-level players such as Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, Leicester City’s Jeremy Monga and Belgian international Malick Fofana were analysed.
This analysis includes an analysis of the individual characteristics of Arsenal‘s Bukayo Saka and Aston Villa’s Leon Bailey, as well as how Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers uses his wingers to combine centrally.
