Milan –
AC Milan vs AS Roma match will present a duel between two aging attackers. Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have a sharp clash with Edin Dzeko.
Milan will host Roma at the San Siro in the fifth giornata of Serie A 2020/202, Tuesday (27/10/2020) in the morning WIB. This match will be adorned with a sharp duel between Ibrahimovic and Dzeko. These two attackers are still the mainstay of their respective teams even though they are no longer young.
Ibrahimovic has shown his big influence for Milan since signing in January. He plays a key role in Il Diavolo’s 21 unbeaten streak.
This season, the 39-year-old striker has scored five goals in four matches in all competitions. His incision helped Milan top the Serie A standings with a perfect 12 points from four matches.
The role is not much different from Dzeko, who is irreplaceable on the front lines of Rome. This 34-year-old player has made two goals and one assist this season. Captain Il Lupi will lead his colleagues to try to beat Milan at the San Siro.
Milan coach Stefano Pioli even made Dzeko the main threat to his team in tonight’s match. He considered that Dzeko had a character similar to Ibrahimovic.
Pioli will instruct his team to limit the ball supply to the Bosnian and Herzegovina striker. The reason is, Dzeko is not only dangerous because he is fertile in scoring goals, but can also create opportunities for his teammates.
“Ibrahimovic and Dzeko are able to create opportunities as a center forward, we need to show our quality on the pitch and try to stop the ball from reaching Edin,” Pioli was quoted as saying on Milan’s official website.
