In a team, there are players you simply cannot do without, because they provide the balance that no one else in the squad can. This is the case with Adrien Rabiot, who quietly brings physicality, quality, and above all consistency to Milan’s midfield, as confirmed by the stats from matches in which he has played.
With the Frenchman in the starting lineup, the Rossoneri recorded 4 wins, including the Coppa Italia victory against Lecce, and one draw. That amounts to an average of 2.5 points per game, with 9 goals scored and only 1 conceded.
Without him, the results change: wins drop to 2, draws rise to 3, the points per game average falls to 1.6, and goals conceded increase to 6. The same applies to Pulisic, another key player for Milan, who alongside Rabiot forms the “primary assets” of the Rossoneri squad, as noted by Il Corriere dello Sport newspaper in this morning's print edition.
