A physical and mental transformation. A change that has brought Matteo Gabbia greater awareness, crucial goals, and even a call-up to the national team with Italy.
Matteo Gabbia has certainly been one of the pillars of Milan’s defence this season. Having always worn the Rossoneri shirt like a second skin, the Italian defender has won everyone over with his performances. Yes, the defining highlight came last season with the match-winning goal that decided the first league derby against Inter (2–1), as pointed out by Milannews.it.
This season, aside from a serious injury that has kept him off the pitch for a period, though his recovery is progressing very positively, he has consistently featured, deservedly leading Allegri’s defence so far. To date, Gabbia has made 15 official appearances this season, receiving only two yellow cards. The lingering bitterness remains from Lecce, when in the first half a goal was unjustly ruled out, which would have been, as of now, his first goal of the season.
