The big international summer football moves to Indonesia, where this afternoon at 14:00 Italian time, Milan led by Rúben Amorim and Chelsea led by Xabi Alonso will face off in a pre-season friendly at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in Jakarta. For the Rossoneri, this is the second and last test of the Asian tour, after the 1-1 draw in the derby against Inter played in Perth. As highlighted by today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Portuguese coach will apply a strong turnover while maintaining the unchanged 3-4-2-1 tactical setup, offering an important showcase to both the young players from the youth academy and the big players in need of minutes like Luka Modrić, Rafael Leão, and new signing Gonçalo Ramos.

The Choices Of Rúben Amorim: Diawara Debut And Chance For Comotto

The most interesting news is in midfield. On the outside lanes will be Alexis Saelemaekers on the right and Pervis Estupiñán on the left, while the central pivot will be a perfect mix of experience and youth: the pillar Luka Modrić will set the pace of the maneuver alongside the talented Christian Comotto. In attack, Amorim launches the heavy trident: Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leão will have the task of inventing on the three-quarters behind the offensive point of reference Gonçalo Ramos, in his first start.
