Among the many aspects of AC Milan’s season, there is a small offensive paradox.
The starting center-forwards signed in the summer and in January, Álvaro Morata and his successor Santiago Giménez—have scored 6 and 3 goals, respectively, for the Rossoneri, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
On the other hand, Tammy Abraham, who was brought in as a backup for the Spaniard and maintained that role even after the Mexican’s arrival, has already scored 8 goals, just one fewer than the other two combined.
It may be a statistic of limited significance, but it does say something, especially now that we are witnessing two starkly contrasting moments for Abraham and Giménez.
The former has consistently made an impact off the bench, proving decisive in the comebacks against Lecce and, above all, Como. The latter, meanwhile, has gone five games without scoring, all of which he started.
Clearly, the Mexican needs time to adapt, and perhaps the coach should work on tailoring a tactical setup that better suits his characteristics.
In the meantime, however, as La Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the No. 90 dreams of overtaking the No. 7 in this final stretch of the season. Conceição will have time to reflect on it during the break.
