Davide Calabria will be tasked with keeping Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this evening as the Partenopei will take on AC Milan. It’s a key battle for the game and club legend Alessandro Costacurta is optimistic.
Milan’s encounter with Napoli tonight has been described as an early Scudetto fixture, given how well both teams have started this season (no losses). And while the Rossoneri will be without Rafael Leao, the away side will rely on Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian international has been on fire lately with four goals and two assists for Napoli. Milan captain Calabria will be tasked with keeping him quiet and Costacurta has shared his thoughts on the battle to Gazzetta Dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it).
“After tonight, we will be able to understand if Milan can win the Scudetto again. Kvaratskhelia? I’m curious to see him against Calabria, who I consider an international-level defender: in the 1v1s, Davide is one of the best in the world.”
It remains to be seen how the battle will end but there is no doubt that Calabria will have to be in good form. Hopefully, Milan will put in a strong team performance and add another win to their tally.
