Nearly 50 days without seeing the field, even surpassed by Tiémoué Bakayoko in the midfield hierarchy. Then suddenly, two starts and 180 minutes on the field filled with lots of running, commitment, and even a goal. This is the story of Tommaso Pobega, revitalized at Milanello. His message is clear: he wants to prove himself and stay at AC Milan.
Thanks to a packed schedule and a Champions League to play, Pobega suddenly returned to the lineup of Milan, and did so with personality: he was one of the best players in Bologna, scoring an important goal that evened out the match. After Bennacer, Tonali, and Krunic, the 23-year-old is now Pioli's fourth choice in midfield: it is not impossible that he could find some playing time, coming off the bench, next Tuesday in the Champions League against Napoli.
Under contract until 2027 (he extended last August), Pobega has shown with his performances that he is fully committed to Milan's project. Especially mentally, despite having little space in recent months. The 1999-born player is destined to stay even next summer when Maldini will have to shuffle the midfield. Pobega's Italian nationality also plays a heavy factor in his probable confirmation, as it affects the Champions League lists compilation.
