Analyzing Milan's Tactics and Structure

I should provide a clear analysis of Milan's identity, which doesn't depend on specific names. Without a notable nine, they could utilize a fluid front three with players like Leao and Pulisic in a false nine role. However, they struggle with set pieces and need a strong presence in the penalty box. Midfield-wise, while they have decent players like Bennacer and Reijnders, recruiting a deep playmaker would be beneficial. Their scoring is affected by Giroud's absence, so they might need to consider signing a target man or adjusting tactics. Balancing age and wages is also crucial.Offering Insights on Player Options

I want to provide a balanced perspective here. The notion that they "must" acquire Modric and a big nine seems overly simplistic since there are multiple effective team structures. The focus should be on coherence and chance creation, not just specific player types. If they do seek a physical nine, I can suggest both budget-friendly and pricier options. Additionally, for a metronomic midfielder, I could recommend younger players like Hjulmand and Samardzic, though I might avoid getting bogged down in specifics to prevent inaccuracies.Team-Building Strategy for Milan

I aim to provide a concise structure with 4-6 bullet points for team-building options.

• Key point: The essence of Milan isn’t just about signing Modric or having a classic target man; it's more about style, control, and winning mentality.
• Analyze advantages and disadvantages of having a target man versus a fluid, mobility-focused approach.
• Discuss the role of a midfield organizer; do current players fit this role, or do we need tactical adjustments?
• Outline recruitment strategies considering age structure and salary cap; weigh short-term stars against sustainable strengthening.
• Practical advice: If aiming for championships, consider two paths based on target man use; list player types for each strategy.
• Conclusion: Focus on defining the playing model instead of specific names.

Options:

1. Pursue a target man.
2. Emphasize a fluid attacking style.
