A number of AC Milan players have received praise for their contributions during yesterday afternoon’s win against Monza at San Siro.
Milan returned to winning ways in the league on Sunday afternoon, beating Monza 3-0 at San Sir. The game was ultimately won in the first half through goals from Tijjani Reijnders and Jan-Carlo Simic, and then Noah Okafor added a third.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) has their ratings from the lunchtime kick-off at San Siro, starting with the team’s overall performance and Stefano Pioli’s management, both of which earned a 7 out of 10.
The man of the match with Jan-Carlo Simic as he got a goal in his Serie A debut after coming off the bench, scoring 6.5, while the ‘worst’ player was Ruben Loftus-Cheek who still got a 6.
Mike Maignan, Tijjani Reijnders and Rafael Leao were each given a 7, while Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer, Alessandro Florenzi, Theo Hernandez, Christian Pulisic and Olivier Giroud all got a 6.5.
Noah Okafor scored off the bench before having to come off due to injury, scoring a 6.5, then Ismael Bennacer got more minutes under his belt and was given a 6.
Okafor was on the pitch for 13 mins. He almost scored a beautiful curling shot only for the keeper to make a great save. He then scored finishing nicely a great team move.
He played some great passes also.
All in all he was a real bright spark and much more effective than Leao, yet he gets 6.5 and Leao gets 7.0.
Makes no sense
