According to what was reported by Sky’s Peppe Di Stefano (via RadioRossonera), after Malick Thiaw ‘s injury – which occurred in the 64th minute after he went for a tackle and his knee buckled slightly – the replacement designated by Stefano Pioli was not Pierre Kalulu but Simon Kjaer.
However, what happened in the moments that followed is quite interesting. Pioli wanted to put Kjaer on because he believed the Dane to be more similar to the German in terms of physical and tactical characteristics.
