ZitatI seriously doubt this was a tactic Milan wanted the team to play.
Then do you have any explanation why it happens again and again? An why there is no improvement after half-time? If it wasn't his tatctics, he should do everything to avoid it. Instead we see exactly the same type of game week after week, the second half against Rostock notwithstanding. I do think it is Sasics tactics because he know Lakic is a player who is able to do fine headers, and who might get those high balls under control. But this only works against teams that are not too defensive; as soon as there are many defensive players around, nobody can control such kinds of passes. That's exactly what we witnessed today.
