Milan, but when does Adli play? After De Ketealere, it is now closed by Diaz

It can be said that Adli is also unlucky. De Ketelaere cue? Are you struggling to get going? Diaz plays in his place and scores for Juve. And with the Belgian’s injury, it will be up to the Spaniard again also against Verona. And the French? Still on the bench, out of the Champions League list and with only 54 minutes played in the league, for a total of three game segments. Yacine Adli, the flagship of every summer friendly, is still on the hunt for his size. De Ketelaere’s injury – out against Chelsea and also out at Bentegodi – could have opened a window for him as a starter, but Diaz’s exploit with the Bianconeri closed the door.

The Rossoneri fans sometimes ask themselves: “But Adli? What happened to him? Why doesn’t he play?”. Questions that Pioli tried to answer in the press room, ruling out a future as a midfielder or playmaker and relying on the adaptation: “Soon it will be ready”. The Rossoneri coach had also spoken of Pobega in this way, held at Milanello after several years on loan around Italy, and in the end he gave him a chance (goal against Dinamo Zagreb). For Adli it will be the same. You just need to find the right opportunity. So far, despite an excellent pre-season with some goals and quality plays, the Frenchman has only played against Bologna, Sassuolo and Napoli. In the last two games against Empoli and Juve he has remained on the bench, not to mention the exclusion from the Champions League list. Very little space.

Third choice

It is forbidden to talk about the case, however. Pioli has repeatedly reiterated his confidence. In the summer he spoke of an “interesting player with excellent characteristics”. That is, vision of the game, dribbling, technique, a sense of space. Understanding when to vertical and when not. In short, a playmaker. Last year, with Bordeaux, he also played in midfield, but at least for now Pioli has ruled out a future as a play alongside the usual totems. The four medians are Tonali, Bennacer, Pobega and Vranckx. The attacking midfielders, on the other hand, remain CDK, Diaz and him, in that order. Before seeing French from 1 ‘we will have to wait. Meanwhile, he trains, studies Italian and learns the dictates of ‘piolism’ with the lights off. Tonali, Leao and Kalulu, to name three, took more than a year to take Milan. Perhaps it will be the same for Adli.
