Milan, the right wing rules: the Emerson-Pulisic axis now shifts the balance

Milan, now the right governs, we read on The Sports Gazette in reference to the playing areas. Because Milan in recent years has leaned decidedly to one side, specifically to the left where with Theo Hernandez and Leao the Rossoneri were very balanced and dangerous. Rarely has a match like the derby on Sunday night been seen when Milan almost attacked more from the lane of Emerson Royal and Pulisic while Theo was mainly concerned with defending. 5 of Milan’s 11 crosses were made by the former Tottenham player, Theo only one.

Studying the average positions of the derby, it is immediately noticeable how Royal also attacked more than the Frenchman. The same goes for Pulisic, always much sought after by his teammates, more than Leao.
