Milan fans still have Diego Moreira’s two goals in two minutes fresh in their minds, the brace that allowed the Rossoneri to draw a match against Lazio that had gone badly wrong. The Belgian player of Portuguese origin, a former Benfica youth player who will face the Rossoneri at San Siro today on the first matchday of the Europa League League Phase, has been something of the man of the moment in recent days. Despite this, however, he is not expected to start, according to reports on the eve of the match. Gianluca Di Marzio discussed him as a guest on Carlo Pellegatti’s YouTube channel.
Gianluca Di Marzio’s comments on Diego Moreira, the man of the moment at Milan:
"I really liked Moreira, he’s a strong player. Benfica are also a little bitter towards him because he left the club on a free transfer. When he was 17, also influenced somewhat by his father, who was a former player, he decided to accept a much higher offer from Chelsea. I don’t know whether he is worth a €50-60 million transfer fee, but he is a player with great potential. Roma had offered €35 million plus €10 million and a percentage of a future resale, so he was a player who was being closely monitored and followed by many clubs. I was surprised to see him on the right: I prefer him on the left, but he can play on both sides, so he can make the most of that important left foot of his. He is an intense player, and he has pace. Of Milan’s new signings, he is the one I find most intriguing."
