Charles De Ketelaere came close to breaking his goal drought against Monza but once again, it wasn’t his evening. AC Milan are still right to believe in him, though, as Andrea Longoni argues.
The Belgian arrived for over €30m in the summer and he has since struggled to impose himself at Milan. Against Monza, he missed a very good opportunity and as described by Andrea Longoni for MilanNews, it feels like he is ‘cursed’.
Given his age and quality, though, Milan are absolutely right to insist on him but the same cannot really be said for Divock Origi. The striker failed to impress last night and he certainly has ‘fewer excuses’ than CDK amid his experience, as Longoni puts it.
Olivier Giroud will likely be the starting striker against Atalanta next weekend and Brahim Diaz seems to be ahead of De Ketelaere for now as well. In any case, Milan are now out of their poor moment and will be looking forward with more confidence.
