Yacine Adli, has only appeared for only 140 minutes last season with the Rossoneri. Now, 6 matches into the new season, he is yet to feature in any official games. But, it seems that this will change today as reports claim that he will be starting against Cagliari from the first minute to replace Rade Krunic in the role of a defensive midfielder.
As reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Yacine Adli, who will therefore make his absolute debut this season (only he, Romero, and Pellegrino have not played a single minute so far among the outfield players of the Rossoneri), returns as a starter with the Rossoneri shirt almost a year after the last time (in Verona in the past season). In the summer, his departure seemed practically certain, but in the end, he stayed at Milanello, eager for a chance to prove his worth to the coach.
According to the report, the Franco-Algerian player's intention wants to try his luck, even if it meant playing in a role that he isn't very familiar with.
And that's exactly what happened, as Yacine Adli is a central midfielder, but he made himself available to Stefano Pioli and from the first day of training camp, he has been working hard to learn how to play in front of the defence.
Tonight, it's finally his turn, and he'll have to be good at making the most of this important opportunity that Pioli will give him.
