La Gazzetta dello Sport, to give credit to Yacine Adli after his strong performance against Atalanta at the San Siro last night emphasized this morning that the Rossoneri coach, Stefano Pioli, can now rely on an additional solution in midfield.
The number seven of AC Milan yesterday played as a starter in the midfield and was a fundamental piece of the Rossoneri's tactical scheme, also in terms of containing the Atalanta attacks, which, not by chance and also thanks to Adli, were almost non-existent.
In particular, the Frenchman was attentive in defense on Koopmeiners, whom he shadowed closely, but then he was also involved in the Rossoneri's maneuver, which he managed with the right timing and also with some truly interesting passes. So today Pioli knows he can rely on Yacine Adli without any problems.
And if the performance on the field was excellent, the words spoken immediately after the match into the DAZN microphones were not any less.
Declarations that once again prove the humility of a young man who puts himself in the game, despite the limits and difficulties encountered:
"I felt bad because in Monza I had a terrible game, I wanted to show that I belong to Milan and that I can play here."
The sign of maturity is not only admitting a poor performance but also being able to overturn that performance within 7 days, showing that one has learned from their mistakes and doesn't feel the pressure.
That is a quality not so common nowadays. Stefano Pioli himself praised Yacine Adli at the end of the match and clarified that he chose him because "Adli's characteristics were more suitable for tonight."
