Hakan Calhanoglu will be a fundamental piece of Stefano Pioli's formation in the next games, as usual. But this time, the coach needs him more than ever. The fans will rely on their team to be at the maximum level of concentration in order to win against Juventus and carry on with good results to secure a much needed and desired Champions League qualification.
La Gazzetta dello Sport's today's edition highlights how important the game against Juventus is for Milan as well as for Andrea Pirlo's team.
The Turk playmaker is at the centre of discussion for the newspaper as they insist that he will be a major factor to Milan's path and results until the end of this long tiring season. Coach Stefano Pioli never questioned his player's abilities and skills and now he needs him the most.
It is a fact that Calhanoglu's contract is about to expire at the end of the season. He is untouchable for the coach, but for now, all focus is on the remaining few games of the season as Paolo Maldini said in a brief interview a few days ago that "every single negotiation for renewals is frozen until the end of the season, to allow the team to focus solely on the league race."
