The stats from Adli’s performance against Cagliari were remembered by ScoutCalcio, starting with the fact that he had an incredible 85 touches and went 71/73 on completed passes, which is a great 97%.
He had one pass into the final third, one opportunity he produced, and an 8.9 on accurate long balls (89%). He entered three tackles, won all three, added three blocks, and demonstrated his defensive prowess with three recoveries.
Adli also prevailed in 3/4 of the ground duels he participated in, but he did lose the one that resulted in Luvumbo’s goal for Cagliari, demonstrating that there is still room for improvement.
Yacine Adli’s first start for AC Milan in nearly a year was one of the highlights of yesterday night’s victory over Cagliari, a chance he seized with both hands.
Prior to Friday night, Adli had not made his Milan debut in 346 days; his most recent appearance was in a road game against Hellas Verona, where he was substituted at halftime.
The Franco-Algerian performed admirably in Sardinia, filling in admirably for the injured Rade Krunic as a deep-lying playmaker while also making an effort to contribute defensively.
