Rade Krunic was given the nod ahead of Brahim Diaz for AC Milan’s clash against Hellas Verona last night and he didn’t disappoint. In fact, some are suggesting that he should start against Atalanta as well.
The Rossoneri have struggled to find the right No.10 this season, mainly because Diaz gas failed to live up to the expectations. Last night, Krunic got the nod and he did well during the 67 minutes he was on the pitch.
In our player ratings, he was given a 7/10 with the following motivation: “His smartness is clearly why Pioli wants to keep him in this team. Unlike a player like Diaz, the Bosnian is very comfortable with keeping the ball without seeking a dribble or trying to do something spectacular. And most of the time, that is positive as he often picks the right pass thanks to his cool head”.
