Another impressive performance from Diego Moreira, this time starting from the outset for Belgium, following some good performances with Milan. Overall, since his first match in Turin against Juventus, the growth of the Belgian Milan player has been clear and consistent, match after match. After the match against Italy, Carlo Pellegatti commented on Diego Moreira's performance on his YouTube channel.
"Moreira, what an incredible change from that shy, willing but inaccurate player we saw make his debut a month and a half ago in Turin against Juventus. He tried to dribble, and you could see that the Milan shirt weighed heavily on him. Then, intelligently, Amorim left him out for a while before bringing him back against Roma. He played on the right, and we all said: 'Look, he plays better on the left.' That belief was backed up by the three goals he then scored against Lazio and Lecce."
Carlo Pellegatti also commented on the transfer market rumours, and has once again mentioned van Dijk's name:
"Every now and then they make fun of me over van Dijk, and I accept the teasing. But they also made fun of me in January before Zlatan Ibrahimović arrived (and he arrived a year later). I continue to say that Gerry Cardinale's words were: 'Either we will sign him now by paying for him, or we will sign him for free next year.' I said that van Dijk would arrive sooner or later. Let's see whether Gerry Cardinale changes his mind or not, but I assure you that it was not a name I simply threw out there for the sake of it."
