There is a lack of goals for forwards! Mi Sports: Nkunku Jimenez still has 0 goals in Serie A, Milan relies on others to score goals

October 25th According to an article written by "Gazzetta dello Sport", AC Milan is experiencing a severe striker goal shortage. The team's goals so far this season have all come from second forward Pulisic, Leo, midfielder Modric, Fofana, Chik or winger Salma Kors, while the two Italian centers Jimenez and Nkunku still have zero Serie A goal accounts.

In the just-concluded game against Pisa, the two took turns to appear, but neither shot on goal within 90 minutes. Jimenez in particular seemed "out of touch" with the team, completing only 8 successful passes in 76 minutes and no shots, assists or crosses. The article pointed out that Milan's slow pace of the game and lack of creativity were part of the reasons, but Jimenez's personal slump was also a fact.

Although Nkunku played for a short time, only 14 minutes of extra time, he completed at least one shot and was blocked by the opponent's defender with a sliding tackle. Faced with such a "poor" forward performance, the Italian media questioned why Allegri did not try to let the two players appear at the same time in the final stage of the game, such as letting Nkunku ambush behind Leo and Jimenez. In this regard, Allegri's explanation was that he was worried that the team would be "more vulnerable to counterattacks."

Currently, Milan's striker goal shortage has become a serious problem. Although it is common for centers to score goals in Serie A this season, the main centers of Inter Milan, Naples and Juventus have all started, but Milan's two major centers have failed to score.

With Pulisic injured until November, Milan's two forward positions will be competed by Leo, Jimenez and Nkunku. In the next away game against Atlanta, Leo is expected to lock in one starter, and who will get the other spot will be a problem Allegri needs to solve.
