The midfielder came through the youth ranks at Milan but he never made an appearance in a competitive game having seen his path to the senior side blocked by the presence of more established starters and also because a 4-3-3 formation was in vogue at the time.
As a result, he left in 2017 as a part of the deal that saw Andrea Conti join the Rossoneri from Atalanta, making the move to Bergamo as a counterpart. He joined Monza over the summer – the city he is from – and he has carved out a key role so far.
Pessina is in the starting line up and will play as part of the two attacking midfielders behind the centre-forward, and he spoke to DAZN before the game. He was asked about his past at Milan, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.
On his past at Milan: “It is a great regret not having been able to play official matches with the Milan shirt. Now I am happy to represent my city as a captain.”
On Galliani: “Yesterday he arrived for dinner, he looked at us and said: ‘I’m not telling you anything’.”
