In his usual piece for La Gazzetta dello Sport, Arrigo Sacchi commented on the result against Atalanta which was a 1-1 draw. The former coach of the AC Milan club had something to say about two Rossoneri players in particular. Here are his words:
"Difficult challenge for AC Milan 's attacking midfielders. It is not easy to play in such conditions, there are few spaces. (Brahim) Diaz did well on his debut against Udinese , while against Atalanta he struggled a lot. Leao was seen little, it seems to me that at times he is lacking energy. We need to work on the psychological aspect."
On Charles De Ketelaere, Sacchi said:
"He has just arrived, let's give him time because he has to learn Italian football. It seems to me that he moves a lot, often looks for depth and this is a detail that should not be underestimated. He gave a very nice assist to Tonali, but Musso was good at saving the shot. De Ketelaere has shown that he is talented, he must be cultivated and he must not be subjected to great pressure."
Sacchi on Ismael Bennacer:
"Apart from the goal, really nice for the way he prepared the shot and for the accuracy, I liked the way he managed the operations in the middle of the field. Always ready to press and shorten the team. Also good at spinning the ball quickly. Speed of touch is fundamental in modern football."
