If against Genoa it was Mattia Liberali who got the nod to start, on Friday evening at Verona's ground, Paulo Fonseca is carefully considering the possibility of starting another very young player, namely Francesco Camarda. The 2008-born striker would operate as the center-forward, with Álvaro Morata possibly playing a few meters behind him.
Will Francesco Camarda start in Milan's next match against Hellas Verona?
La Gazzetta dello Sport explains that the Rossoneri coach is very fond of the young Italian's playing style. He works tirelessly even in the defensive phase, pressing the opposing goalkeeper and defenders, and provides significant support to his teammates when Milan is without the ball.
Against Red Star, his introduction was decisive, and he also came off the bench against Genoa, but now the time might have come for another starting appearance (he has already started once, against Cagliari) to pursue his first official goal with the senior team.
Fonseca is thinking about it
While the decision in Cagliari was out of necessity (Morata was unavailable and Abraham was not at his best), this time it would be a tactical choice by Fonseca, who is seriously considering it. In recent hours, Camarda has also received a boost from a great former Milan No. 9, Marco van Basten, who told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I know he’s very young, and I’ve seen some of his actions with the first team. Milan has a gold nugget on their hands, and I hope he can help the club win.”
In the starting lineup for Verona, another youngster, Alex Jimenez, is also expected to be confirmed from the first minute, once again preferred over Theo Hernández on the left flank.
