MilanMania: Montella’s choices imposed by the transfer market, what about Lapadula?
Suso will be playing close to Bacca in a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1-1 but also former Chelsea starlet Pasalic is one of those who could play behind the sole striker Bacca. But why Montella won’t start Luiz Adriano or Lapadula?
One would think that a manager with an offensive mentality like Montella would prefer to task strikers with attacking roles, rather than attacking midfielders.
The rossoneri will be looking for consistency, something they failed to achieve in their first two games against Torino and Napoli, but despite Montella’s words, the transfer market did not gave him enough players to strengthen the team both in terms of depth and quality.
That’s the team he has to work with, no it is up to the players to show that they are AC Milan materials.
