At AC Milan right now, Yacine Adli is the outstanding player, and a source indicates that he will make another start against Lazio at San Siro tomorrow.
Everyone is praising Adli for his performance against Cagliari, which came after some patient waiting, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (see below).
Against Lazio on Saturday night, Adli will likewise get off to a good start. Yunus Musah, who showed promise as a deeper-lying midfielder against Cagliari, may be used in front of the defense for Borussia Dortmund, nevertheless.
On Wednesday, the Franco-Algerian played between Tijjani Reijnders and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, completing 71 of 73 passes. Additionally, he used some artistic license, making a few non-trivial long balls and a few vertical passes into the thirds.
He took his time, played freely, and didn’t worry about slowing down the match’s tempo. Adli is significantly different from Rade Krunic in that he plays the traditional playmaker role for the center midfield, holds the ball at his feet, seeks to construct, and maybe becomes distracted defensively.
Zito Luvumbo’s goal from two nights ago resulted from him dropping the ball, demonstrating the need for him to improve all aspects of his game in order to play even when Krunic is available.
He was honored in an Instagram story by Ismael Bennacer, and it is obvious that he is still the two of them’s closest friends in the locker room. From this, it is easy to realize that Adli can be liked or loathed on the field, where it is plainly subject to discussion, but less so off it.
Yacine has recently maintained his good attitude, supported his colleagues, and is now taking advantage of his recent sudden reputation as the in-demand pianist. Tomorrow, there will be more than 70,000 attendees at the following concert.
