Photo: Average position of each Milan player in dramatic win against Empoli

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan bounced back in dramatic fashion as they scored two goals in stoppage time against Empoli last night. Rafael Leao was behind all three goals and it was the confidence boost the Rossoneri needed ahead of Chelsea away. 

Despite sustaining three more injuries during the game, Milan continued to work hard and it paid off in the end. Fode Ballo-Toure, of all people, scored the crucial 2-1 goal and before that, Ante Rebic made an impact off the bench with a goal.

Leao, as said, was the big man of the game as he was behind the first two goals and got the third himself. In the photo below, he’s highlighted as the key player and you can see the average position of each starting Milan player.

  1. Charles de Ketelaere remind a lot of yoann gourcuff with way he interact with milan players on the field he seam disengage and not findings his ways on the system i hope mister pioli speak to him try get him more engage and not force minutes on him if he is not ready and doesn’t know our system ,Brahim Diaz enter the game and system start working again cdk is not ready to be a starter yet just like tonali and Rafael Leao first year

    1. Yeah agreed. Difference was Gourcoff was coming into a team of stars used to winning, big names with enormous reputations everywhere.

      This Milan squad is younger, some gifted players but nowhere near the track record of Pirlo, Nesta, Cafu, Maldini etc… shouldn’t be as intimidating for someone who has played UCL for Brugge and likely in the Belgian WC squad.

      CDK might naturally be quite shy, I don’t think its anything to be concerned about. Hope is he elevates his form in the next few years, from the odd moment of high technique to becoming a key attacker. Bit like how Leao has matured over 3 seasons.

  2. For me the real problem I think is that Leao and the right winger play too much in the center. The times when Leao brings the danger is when he plays the nail of the line. Our wingers need to go further out to give CDK a free hand in the center and also force the opposing teams to defend from a wide position.
