There were two attacking players who stood out above all during AC Milan’s friendly loss against Arsenal yesterday, a report has claimed.
The first friendly in Dubai ended in defeat with the Premier League side emerging 2-1 victors, but Stefano Pioli received good responses from perhaps the two players with the most to prove going into the game, namely Yacine Adli and Divock Origi.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, Origi had two great chances to score, but lacked a little luck and a little precision in hitting the woodwork twice. He created the first one himself with a spin that was Giroud-esque outside the area, with the ball hitting the crossbar.
On the other hand, a beautiful cross from right wing by Adli for the second chance should have perhaps been buried, as the Belgian rose for a header all alone in the penalty area and grazed the far post.
Positive signals also came from the former Bordeaux man who was one of the most involved in the first half. The young Frenchman showed confidence and quality, not hiding from the game and always trying to make things happen.
