Won’t be judging Adli by this one game but I totally hope he does Very well. Tired of seeing Krunic in this team.
We’re so freaking slow in build up plays. We win back the ball and wait for the other team to get back into position before we can do anything? How tf is that supposed to work ? Smdh
Fire this idiot now #PioliOut
So Adli did a decent job. Not going to go crazy and say he’s a world beater; but he did good. He looked composed and classy dictating. Has potential for sure. However, i will say Reijnders is a gem!!! we hit the jackpot with him. I see him soon to be in the same line as theo, mike, leao .
Agreed
3 points on to the next one!
Had to miss the match, I’m glad for Adli and the two midfielders who had a good game.
Forza Pioli Forza Milan
