AC Milan managed to clinch three points in the game against Hellas Verona last night, but it was far from easy. A late goal by Santiago Gimenez was needed and naturally, the newspapers praised the striker this morning.
Milan signed the former Feyenoord man to score goals, and so far, he has delivered with two in four appearances. Only two of these games have been from start as well, so the feeling is that he could be even more decisive once he gets fully used to his new teammates.
As expected, the newspapers praised the striker this morning, highlighting just how important he is for the team. Milan have now claimed ten points in the last four games and Rafael Leao, who came off the bench yesterday, also deserves a mention for getting the crucial assist.
