The Serbian, who has lived a complex season from the physical point of view, has the best average goal among the Rossoneri tips: one goal every 99 ‘

April 8 – 08:57 – MILAN

The talkative players are certainly others, but Luka Jovic belongs to the category of those who, when they decide to speak, choose to use clear and direct concepts. This dates back to a few days ago: “I am happy to have exploited the opportunities that have been given to me, because this year I have not had many. I hope everything changes. I think I deserve more space also in Milan. Last year with my goals we took at least ten points, reached the Champions League and then the second place, thanks to which we played the Super Cup in Arabia, which we won. And this is after Fiorentina: “I try to do what I can in the minutes granted. I want to play all the games at best, do what I can. I hope the coach notice it”.

final rush

Luka knocks on the door of the Conceiçao office and asks for space. Asks attention. He asks confidence, at least for the last month and a half of a season spent almost entirely in the corner at the bottom of the drawer. The place where the things that normally do not use are put but that do not want to throw away, because maybe sooner or later they come in handy. Here, Jovic is useful and in recent games his place is above the coach’s bedside table. Like a good book to read before sleeping. Conceiçao next season will train elsewhere, but for Luka it is important to prove herself alive regardless of those who arrive: its contract is expiring and Milan has an option – unilateral – to renew it again. It means that Jovic, if he is pleased to stay in Milanello, must play everything in the next eight games: nine, but it would be much better. “I am open to all options,” said the attacker.

tribulations

Luka, therefore, contemplates the hypothesis of greeting, but possibly also to remain. Yes, but with what status? Easy to imagine that the arrival of a new coach can intrigue him, perhaps more inclined to give him space. However, it should also be emphasized that the Serbian, net of technical choices that have almost never contemplated it, has experienced a decidedly backed year from a physical point of view. Afflicted first by a pubalgia that presented himself several times and forced him to operate (it was late November) and staying out for three months, jumping twelve games. Then there were other muscle problems: out three other races. But the technical choices of the coaches penalized it. Fonseca, for example, had excluded it from the Champions League in September. Luka’s season is summarized so far in nine appearances, of which only one as a starter, for a total of 198 minutes. A misery, which, however, has been able to make fruit: the two goals in the last two releases mean a goal every 99 minutes and in the squad there are no players with a similar average. This is Jovic’s business card in view of the next season, wherever his destiny will bring him. Also because with Milan it will be necessary to clarify: staying to be the deputy of Gimenez would make sense, to remain to be the third center forward in the squad, at 27, would not have at all.
