AC Milan playmaker Yacine Adli will miss out on the trip to Mozart’s home city as his mission to win over Stefano Pioli continues.
La Gazzetta dello Sport recall how Adli has a love for the piano and in particular is a fan of Mozart but he will not feature in tonight’s Champions League match between Red Bull Salzburg and AC Milan which will take place about twenty minutes from the house where the famous composer was born.
Adli has been excluded from the Champions League squad list and will not take part in the trip to Salzburg on Tuesday evening despite having a positive preseason and also possessing a very useful versatility.
The former Bordeaux man is a playmaker in his natural role – like De Ketelaere and Brahim Diaz who are ahead in Pioli’s hierarchy – while the coach made it clear that there is no future as a member of the double pivot.
However, it must be noted that Adli is 21 and has to adapt to Italian football just as it was the same for Pierre Kalulu, who quickly rose from reserve to permanent starter because he was able to thrive in the right situations.
So far Adli has played 46 minutes (29 against Bologna and 17 against Sassuolo), remaining on the bench in the derby and in the first two league games against Udinese and Atalanta. However, from now until the beginning of November a game will be played every three days virtually, so his time will come.
