The 30-year-old may be going back to his roots at the club level as well, slotting in behind the attack.
AC Milan coach Leonardo is considering a tactical shuffle after Andrea Pirlo's performance in international action yesterday, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.The midfielder has been struggling in recent months in his usual deep-lying role, but excelled when placed in the trequartista position just behind the strikers on Wednesday evening, having a hand in both of Italy's goals against Bulgaria.The Brazilian boss is considering a similar move against Livorno, pushing the 30-year-old further up the field in support of Alexandre Pato and either Ronaldinho or Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.The Italian international began his career in the same attacking midfield position, but was later pushed back into a deeper role due to the presence of players like Kaka and Rui Costa at the San Siro.Meanwhile, the rest of the midfield would consist of Mathieu Flamini, captain Massimo Ambrosini, and Clarence Seedorf.The Rossoneri are eager to make up for their recent humiliating 4-0 loss to city-rivals Inter. They kick-off against Livorno on Saturday at 18:00 CET at the Stadio Armando Picchi.
