Milan-Origi, the first shot is ready: and in the future he will be the owner

Divock Origi, champion of England, Europe and the world, is also liked by Gerry Cardinale: the number one of Red Bird and the new owner of AC Milan has proposed himself as the guardian of the Rossoneri history, to which he wants to add new winning chapters. To do this, he married Elliott’s strategy and the management that made the transition from theory to practice possible. The idea of ​​the management, always in an attempt to keep sustainability and competitiveness together, leads to Origi: it respects the economic parameters (the contract with Liverpool is about to expire) and technical parameters. In addition, he adds the experience at high altitude: Milan, who will try to settle back even at the top of Europe, needs it. On the other hand, yesterday morning’s social confirmation is not valid: an Instagram post next to which appears the Belgian flag (that of Origi but also of other Rossoneri goals) next to the emoticons depicting a handshake and an hourglass. In social language, the confirmation of an imminent agreement: the profile attributed to Gerry Cardinale has been identified as fake. The news, on the other hand, is real: Origi could be Rossoneri next week, at most the following week. By mid-June he will have undergone medical examinations in Milan, signed the AC Milan four-year, and then left for the second period of holidays: the first is underway, after Origi has concluded the season with Liverpool. In July he will return to join the new team. A physical problem did not allow him to be available in Paris, in the Champions final with Real, and to participate with Belgium in Nations League matches.

In Milan he will have a central role: sharing the penalty area with Olivier Giroud. It is on the attack that the first movements of the club focus and in the next film of the season Origi is considered one of the protagonists. He has no striker numbers but he was also able to shine in the Liverpool of the stars: in all 41 goals in 175 overall appearances. This year he stopped at three in 7 league appearances, one in as many Champions League matches. Klopp, in the final greetings, called him a legend: together they have won the Premier League, the English League Cup and the FA Cup, the Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Milan will grant him more space, to be filled with goals. For the company it is the reinforcement that the department can complete. If new paths open up during the summer, the club could also try to follow them, but with Origi and Giroud, they feel they have two expert and functional attack guides. Origi, twenty-seven, and Giroud, thirty-six in September: in his first year in Italy Olivier scored 14 goals in 33 games, eleven in twenty-nine of the league including the championship autographs in the last match in Reggio Emilia and before that in Naples and in the derby. Marko Lazetic, medal of the Italian Champion around his neck without having made his debut in Serie A, is also among the center forwards in the squad: he kept the pace of the match in the Spring but now Maldini and Massara, Rossoneri dt and ds, will evaluate the hypothesis of a lending. Always waiting for Ibrahimovic: Zlatan will remain out until January, but the time for choices will come much earlier. Next week could be decisive for him too: the confrontation with the club is approaching, in which to understand how to proceed. If the physical condition supports him, Ibra will sign the extension, either immediately or with a token contract later on.

In the meantime Origi is ready to take the stage, after seasons as a co-star: at Milan he will be able to give himself the limelight. Liverpool made him great: “It was a special trip” he wrote on Twitter to formalize his farewell to the reds. Now he is ready to get back on track with the Rossoneri. First stop: the arrival in the city for medical examinations and signing, then the return to get to know Pioli and start the new adventure. The more goals he scores, the more he can take them further.
