Former Milan forward Antonio Cassano commented on Milan's brilliant victory in Verona and Kessie's influence on Pioli's team during the live broadcast on Bobo TV.
"Milan put Ivan Juric's side in a lot of difficulties despite their injury crisis and I have never seen the Verona side in that situation before. It confirms the coach's statement that the Rossoneri won on merit at the Bentegodi".
"Frank Kessie is a monster in midfield, he held the midfield all on his own with recoveries, starting attack in midfield, he gets fouled by opponents but keeps going. The Ivorian is the soul of Pioli's team and he is even more important than Ibrahimovic and club captain Romagnoli. For over a year Milan has been doing great things and credit must be given to Paolo Maldini for a job well-done" Cassano added.
