Tijjani Reijnders is more likely to start at the centre of a midfield three than Yacine Adli when AC Milan take on Cagliari on Wednesday, a report claims.
As has been reported by Sky Sport Italia correspondent Peppe Di Stefano (via SempreMilan.it), the Dutch midfielder could get a chance to play a midfield role that he has not yet played for the Rossoneri.
He has so far been used as one of the two wider midfielders but with Rade Krunic set to miss the game through injury, Stefano Pioli needs a new player to be the deepest midfielder.
Many wondered if Adli would get the nod given it is known that Pioli is trying to turn him into that sort of player, but it seems more likely that Reijnders will play there with Ruben Loftus-Cheek on one side and then either Yunus Musah or Tommaso Pobega on the other side.
I actually think he will stay there forever.
Lol, the way this goes he is next on the injured list.. 77 min vs inter, 90 vs verona. he gonna play Cagliari , then lazio, then bvb.
Dank
Lol, do we have to treat this as a surprise element? Adli should just ask for his transfer in the winter transfer window.
Pobega will enter the starting lineup. Adli won’t play
Idk why Pobega couldn’t play as DM, He is less talented than any in the midelfield and could bring more defensive skills
He was rested vs Newcastle in between so at least there is that. It’s fine as long he doesn’t play the full 90 which he probably won’t.
The only proper candidate. He already has vision, anticipation and is good in interceptions. Hell, I won’t exclude him staying in this position if he finds his feet. Pirlo went from a bit above average CAM to one of a kind deep lying playmaker.
Pirlo had Gattuso mopping up though 😁. But we do have a Musah. Did u see how pacey he was last game? I think he’s going to be our best signing eventually. He has lots of great attributes, can hold the ball well under pressure, progresses alot, can tackle, has pace, stamina, can be all over the field. I’m def sold (almost…need to see him a bit more but he looks great)
Musah is a wild card here, very versatile player and can play down the whole right hand line. I just hope Pioli uses him properly and shapes him into new Kessie instead of playing him in different roles and positions.
Even Calhanoglu looks great playing deep now, which I still can’t believe. A few years ago I would bet my life that is impossible…
Yeah and it’s even more wild he does it without proper cover next to Mkhitaryan and Barella. It’s all down to coach in the end.
I think this is just a matter of not starting someone who hasn’t played yet. He should be ready to come on as a sub. When that happens, we’ll see his start a game.
Adli being demoted to waterboy sadge
Pffft waterboy is way above Adli pecking order right now. Adli is the one who fills up the water bottles to bring it to the waterboy who then dishes out the water 😂😂
At this point it’s too easy to figure out what Pioli is going to do. This was light work. Even Slowbega was ahead of Adli
Everyone knows Adil has talent except Poli
Just stop playing Pobega. We could have kept Saelesmakers. This later played in many position and could have occupied very well that position as a back-up
Salad as dm? tell me more
Stupid Pioli. If i Adli i will request transfer . I dont know why he wants to stay. Pioli dont trust him . I dont know why. Sane goes to Luka Romero. He will be bag carrier under Pioli
Hail musah he is far far better than Loftus cheek rejnder is trying
