Yacine Adli quickly settled into Milanello as he spent the full preseason with his new club AC Milan, but Stefano Pioli continues to not pick him.
As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it report, the presence of several Frenchmen in the team certainly had a positive influence in helping Adli adapt, with the likes of Olivier Giroud, Theo Hernandez, Pierre Kalulu and Mike Maignan all there plus the French-speaking Alexis Saelemaekers, Charles De Ketelaere, Divock Origi and Ismael Bennacer.
Yesterday Adli commented on the group photo on social media with the caption ‘family’, indicating that he feels very much at home after he left Bordeaux following his loan spell there.
From a tactical point of view, however, Pioli is still expecting answers, which is why the Frenchman’s playing time is still low. The resumption after the break for the national teams could be an opportunity to see the real Adli at work.
