It's up to Mandzukic, this time from the beginning. On Thursday evening, in fact, the Croatian striker should start from the first minute against the Dejan Stankovic's Red Star Belgrade thus playing his first game as a starter with Milan.
The waiting therefore, is over. Now Mario Mandzukic will have to raise the level of his performances and try to unlock and unleash his good performances.
As reported by the newspaper Tuttosport, after ten months without official matches, Mandzukic showed up in good condition at Milanello.
But the pace of the match is another thing and when Pioli threw him into the fray, he struggled to establish himself.
But now Milan need his contribution, alongside or in place of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who obviously can't play all of them. As mentioned, in Belgrade he should start from the beginning, in all probability at the center of the Rossoneri attack.
Mandzukic, who hasn't rejoiced for a year (the last goal dates back to 11 February 2020, on the net in the Asian Champions League) wants to salvage himself and find the feeling with the goal.
Mario Mandzukic has a goal in mind: to prove to Milan managers that they have made the right investment in him. Mario has a double objective: to drag the Rossoneri and earn his renewal.
