GdS: There is one key reason behind Pioli’s admiration for Krunic at Milan

The primary reason behind Stefano Pioli’s continued use of Rade Krunic in his AC Milan side is the tactical versatility that the Bosnian possesses, a report claims.

As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pioli has stuck by Krunic through moments where many fans have been left wondering what it is that the midfielder actually offers to the team.

He has been starting games in the absence of Ismael Bennacer recently, rather than Tommaso Pobega or Aster Vranckx who are more orthodox central midfielders.

The reason Pioli enjoys having him in the team is that he can play in almost every position on the pitch. He has played out wide in attack, he often plays in a central attacking role, he can play at the base of the midfield and he has even popped up at full-back before.

That is a very valuable trait to have and Pioli knows it.
