As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, two of the most crucial duels in tonight’s Juve - Milan match will be between Tijjani Reijnders and Teun Koopmeiners, the flying Dutchmen, and between Alvaro Morata and Dusan Vlahovic.
The former Atalanta player is central to Motta’s project, while Reijnders, as of today, represents both talent and consistency.
This season, the Rossoneri's star has taken the crown from Koopmeiners as the best Dutch midfielder in Serie A. With 9 goals, he is the team’s top scorer.
With his contract set to be extended until 2030, Milan hopes to shield him from the interest of major clubs.
Then there’s the clash between Alvaro Morata and Dusan Vlahovic, both seeking a turning point.
They have never faced each other before. They played together for six months at Juventus.
Tonight, they have the chance to change their seasons. Vlahovic has never scored against Milan, while Morata has never scored against Juventus.
Alvaro’s season has yet to take off. A decisive goal, like the one against Real Madrid, is needed to win over the fans.
