AC Milan will be without Olivier Giroud for tomorrow’s game against Udinese and with Rafael Leao struggling for form it will be Brahim Diaz who has to help lead the attack.
La Gazzetta dello Sport write that Brahim Diaz tends to play best when it counts, in moments when he has to prove something, like against Udinese at the beginning of the year when the champions of Italy welcomed the Friulians to San Siro in round one.
Becao scored against the Rossoneri (again) to give the away side the lead but Brahim scored a goal and got an assist to help propel the Rossoneri to a 4-2 win, all with Charles De Ketelaere sat watching from the dug out having just arrived from Belgium for over €30m.
behind the boss, who arrived from Belgium to steal his place from 1′. The rest is history: goals and assists from Brahim, just to reiterate the concept. When it comes to proving, it often succeeds.
In the league the Spaniard hasn’t scored since 22 October when he bagged two goals against Monza and had a great game, but in the Champions League he scored the goal that took Milan to the quarter-finals.
Excluding the derby, he has played in all the Rossoneri’s recent games, such as in the beginning of October when he hurt Juventus with a slalom run to make it 2-0. He shows himself more in the important moments, and Milan need him tomorrow.
