SempreMilan.it report how Kalulu is growing game after game and is showing all his worth. Often used as a makeshift or supporting player before, the Frenchman is showing off his crazy potential that allows him to play with such tranquility both at right-back and centre-back.

Against Genoa he was decisive in the attacking phase too as he got an assists with a masterful cross to Rafael Leao at the far post, helping break the deadlock inside 11 minutes.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reflected on his performance: “The last minute absence of Calabria brings him back to the wing: on the 1-0 cross he uses the compass and reminds us that the job of a centre-back is just a great fall back.”

Tuttosport praised his performance: “He moves to the right and the performance is still something else. Leao’s cross for 1-0 is a treat. With the exit of Gabbia he returns to the centre.”

Finally, the Corriere remarked: “Moved to the right after Calabria’s absence, he produces a beautiful assist for Leao’s advantage.”
