Rewinding the tape and thinking today that in July Milan had entrusted the keys of its attack to Alvaro Morata certainly has a certain effect.
The Spanish center-forward, after six months of ups and downs, few goals, and some physical issues, was loaned out to Galatasaray and was replaced by Santiago Gimenez but also, in part, by Joao Felix, who was brought in on a temporary basis from Chelsea in the role of attacking midfielder or second striker—a position the Spaniard had often covered in the first part of the season, as relayed via Milannews.it.
The result?
Nil.
Even though the two situations are different in terms of age and investment, the contribution of Gimenez and Felix has been extremely limited. And, in fact, as QS highlights today, they have been overtaken in the pecking order by those who, at the start of the season—and even in January—were thought of as backups:
"Milan, the paradox of the attackers. The temporary players are doing better than the winter signings."
The subtitle reads:
"Gimenez and Joao Felix are struggling. Conceicao stays afloat thanks to the goals of Abraham and Jovic, whose future remains a puzzle."
The ones scoring today for Milan are Abraham and Jovic, two players who might not even be Rossoneri next season.
