In the last two seasons the weight of Milan’s attack has been mainly on the shoulders of Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud, but that is no longer the case.
As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) write this morning, the contribution of Leao and Giroud cannot and should not be downplayed because without their goals, the Rossoneri would not have won many matches as they did.
However, among the summer objectives of the management was to give Stefano Pioli quality alternatives in attack and for the moment the additions are certainly giving excellent responses.
Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor stand out. The American arrived on a permanent basis from Chelsea and has already scored three goals in Serie A.
He is currently a key player in Milan’s attack as is Okafor. After a few weeks of settling in, the Swiss forward entered Pioli’s rotations and has scored two goals in consecutive games against Cagliari and Lazio.
Samuel Chukwueze and Luka Jovic are yet to score, and the former was the most expensive summer signing. For the moment he has shown that he still needs some time to understand Italian football, but he has speed and the ability to beat his man, characteristics that will allow him to make the difference.
The situation is different for Jovic, who arrived on the last day of the summer mercato and needs to work a little more to get back to his best condition.
Chuck is same type of player as Leao. And we all know how first year in Milan looked for Rafa.
Yep. Chuk will certainly hit the stride over time, he’s still adopting to Italy. Concerning Jovic, what I expect from him is just a little more than Origi did, which is really a simple matter…
As for Pulisic and Okafor, I guess they are already justifying their signings.
With Bennacer come back, and very was adaptive player like pulišić, some games Pioli can play with Leao Pulišić Giroud Chukwueze just to see that attack
