Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s importance to AC Milan was there for all to see during the win over Paris Saint-Germain, but the numbers also demonstrate how big his impact might be.
The return of Loftus-Cheek to the starting line-up was eagerly awaits and he did not disappoint in his first start after being out for a month. He dominated the midfield for 90 minutes, and MilanNews have highlighted how the stats show Milan are a transformed team when he plays.
Loftus-Cheek has made 10 appearances this season, from which have come seven wins, one draw and two defeats (one of which was against Udinese when he came on late on at 0-1). The Rossoneri score 1.7 goals per game on average, and obtain 2.2 points per game.
Without Loftus-Cheek in the team Milan have played five games with one win, two draws, two defeats, a 0.6 goals average, and a 1 point average.
Looking at the Englishman’s ranking among Milan players during the game against Paris Saint-Germain, he had 262 metres of ball carry distance (1st), 183 metres of ball carry progress (1st), 3 fouls won (1st), 10 duels won (joint 1st) and 5 dribbles completed (joint 1st).
Any articles on club World Cup 25 and where we sit as inter qualified. Do we have a chance? If so how? Be great to see.
We have a chance by winning the 2023/24 Champions League.
Other than that it seems there is a realistic chance for us to qualify, based on an UEFA four year ranking. There is an article, in Football Italia, regarding Inter’s 2025 Club WC qualification you can read it if you wish to, to know more about 2025 Club WC.
And yet, people were absolutely trashing this transfer. RLC was a “flop”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Most people over the summer were trashing every transfer Milan made because they were/some still are mad Maldini got fired.
The approach of RLC was started by Maldini. And I can proudly say that I was one of the supporters of RLC move since the news first emerged. As I’m aware that what we lack is his physicality and the way he can hold up ball & play.
I’m pretty sure this move was happening when Maldini was director. Then halted when he was fired but then brought back again eventually, so I think your point is wrong as it would actually be a positive to Maldini that this has worked out so far.
Yes, I remember some on here calling him and Pulisic Chelsea’s trash. Without a doubt our 2 best signings.
There’s no argument: with RLC in midfield we get speed and physicality that’s otherwise not there with any other player. RLC is the only one who can bulldoze forward the way he does.
