Milan wins away, Loftus Chik and Pulisic make a contribution, a good start to the new season

Serie A second round, AC Milan challenged Lecce away. At the beginning of the new season, Milan urgently needs a victory after losing the first round to stabilize the morale of the army. Head coach Masimiliano Allegri continued to use his familiar 3-5-2 formation, trying to score all three points away. At the beginning of the game, Milan showed a positive offensive posture, while Lecce set out a tight 4-4-2 defensive formation with the intention of dragging the game into a deadlock. Although Milan once took the lead with Gabiya's header in the game, VAR's penalty killed their goal twice, one when Gabiya's header was judged to be fouled first, and the other when Gimenes' shot in the penalty area was cancelled due to offside, which undoubtedly brought some frustration to Milan's offense. In the first half, both sides attacked and defended each other, but the score could not be rewritten. Although Milan created some opportunities on the offensive end, her determination to score a goal still needs to be strengthened, especially the two excellent opportunities in Lovetus Chick at the end of the first half were not converted into goals, which seemed a pity.

The fight has changed sides and Milan's offensive has become increasingly fierce. In the 66th minute of the game, Milan finally broke the deadlock. Luka Modric made a precise free kick and found Loftus Chik in the penalty area. The latter jumped high and sent the ball into the net with a beautiful header, opening the first record for Milan. The Croatian veteran's assist proved his worth once again and won his first goal of the season for Lovetus Chik. After scoring the goal, Allegri quickly made a substitution adjustment, replaced the goal-winning hero Loftus Chik with Ricci, and at the same time replaced the active Salmarcos with Pulisic, intending to strengthen midfield control and seek to expand the score. The substitution effect was immediate. Pulisic, who came on the bench, seized the opponent's defense's mistake in the 75th minute of the game, calmly shot and scored, expanding the score to 2-0. The American star's goal not only secured the victory for Milan, but also showed his key role as a substitute surprise. Lecce also created some opportunities in the game, such as Stulic's shot was saved by Milan goalkeeper Meinion, overall, they didn't have many ways on the offensive end and failed to pose a substantial threat to Milan's goal.

In the end, AC Milan defeated Lecce 2-0 with goals from Loftus Chik and Pulisic, achieving his first league victory in the new season. This victory is crucial for Milan, who has just experienced a change of coaches and a loss at the beginning of the season. It not only injects much-needed confidence into the team, but also proves that Allegri's tactical arrangement after his return is gradually working. Modric gave a key assist at the age of 39, which once again confirmed the truth that "experience is wealth". His existence undoubtedly injected the wisdom and accurate passes into Milan's midfield. Pulisic's substitute appearance and scored a goal also shows the depth of the team's lineup and the strength of the bench. Lecce continued their sluggish at the beginning of the season and has not scored so far. The failure to score in four consecutive league games has also exposed the team's serious problems on the offensive end. The victory of this game is an important step for Allegri to lead Milan to rejuvenation. The team needs to continue to maintain this focus and efficiency in order to go further in the fiercely competitive Serie A.
