Charles De Ketelaere has received quite a lot of criticism this season and that only increased after AC Milan’s 1-1 draw against Cremonese yesterday. Franco Ordine has revealed the moment he gave up on the Belgian.
De Ketelaere is yet to find the back of the net for Milan and as he got the chance from start against Cremonese, many prayed that it would be the game. However, he missed a big 1v1 chance in the first half and further hurt his confidence.
Speaking to Radio 24, as cited by MilanNews, Milan pundit Franco Ordine revealed that it was at that moment he gave up. Curva Sud may have chanted the player’s name after the game, but he believes the Rossoneri must move on.
“The chants for De Ketelaere? It’s blind love from the Curva Sud, the rest of the stadium was silent. After seeing CDK’s missed opportunity against Cremonese, I gave up. When I saw his face, I understood that it’s not his thing,” he stated.
De Ketelaere certainly won’t play from start against Lazio this weekend and it remains to be seen if he will get any more chances from start this season. As things stand, it feels like €35m down the drain for the Rossoneri.
