AC Milan are hoping for some positive influence from their four Belgian players during tonight’s home game against Cremonese, a report claims.
According to today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Stefano Pioli will field all four Belgian players in the Milan squad this evening against the Grigiorossi, hoping they can strike up a chemistry that will lead to three points.
Aster Vranckx will play from the first minute in the midfield double pivot alongside Ismael Bennacer, while Alexis Saelemaekers will play as a right winger as Brahim Diaz moves over to the left.
Charles De Ketelaere will get another chance as the playmaker behind the centre-forward which should be Divock Origi. The former is looking for his first goal since arriving at the club, while the latter is stuck on two and could well be battling to prove he deserves a place in the squad ahead of next season.
Another draw 😔
Unless Pioli brings in Leao, Giroud & others way before the 1h mark. Which is as likely as it’d be snowing in hell.
Its an interesting move. It looks though we are prioritising the CL over Serie A. I’m not sure how i feel about this. Its exciting to go for the big European trophy, but if we beat Inter we go against City or Madrid. In the league we can get 4th, but risk dropping points.
I wonder if this approach is backed by the board? It must be….
God help us, the Belgians.
Alexis in fairness tries hard but is limited, and maybe Vrancx can develop. The other 2, well the less said the better.
I certainly would’nt be rushing back to Belgium for another waffle if I were M&M
If I were Pioli, rather than giving another upsetting result from origi, I would love to give a special debut for Camarda as a reward for his fantastic and optimistic milan future. Having a special record for him may add a great motivation to be a legend at milan.
Barcelona did it today for Lamine Yamal. So, I think that’s good for young players as long as they deserve for it.
Forcing 15 years camarda to debut in serie A are bad idea. You can see pietro pelegri forcing to debut in age 17 when his physic and mentality not ready ,the result he failed and injury prone. Barca given many 15-17 years player debut but how many of them consistent? Many of them failed too
The only way to get them out of their slump is by playing them and giving them confidence. Saladman is doing good now, Vranckx has been asking for minutes. Hopefully CDK getting a start is a confidence boost. It’s a high stakes game but if starting them is not a sign that pioli has confidence in them, not sure what will
I agree giving some game time to CDK and Vranxc is needed. Origi however should stay at home so he can pack his bags and tidy his house so he is ready to leave
“Origi however should stay at home so he can pack his bags and tidy his house so he is ready to leave”
This!
Let pioli do his work, our best players need rest for the upcoming big games.. I’m sure we will win this game with this players all the best for Milan
Well… We didn’t. How surprising.
Hands crossed
