A year ago he had collected 3 appearances in the first 5 of the championship. Now 3 in the first 6. Ante Rebic is a déjà vu. The AC Milan striker had arrived in Milan last year after a summer of sulking, misunderstandings and tensions with theUnity Francoforte, bringing with it a certain amount of negativity that characterized, and not a little, the first half of its season. If, therefore, last summer it was also the fault of the Croatian vice-champion of the world, this year only bad luck has to do with it. The substance, however, does not change: there is to chase.
THE RACE – He had to chase last year, he must chase this year: in 4-3-3 he never found his right size, after the lockdown in 4-2-3-1 he started to fly; now the form is the same, only one interpreter has changed: due to that subluxation in the elbow, on the left is Rafael Leao, who is finding continuity of performance in that role. Yet, in his way of understanding the role, Rebic is unique.
THE REAL TIP – Leao scores, but when he plays center-forward, in place of Ibra. Not from outside, where instead he packs assists. Rebic no, Rebic scores, paradoxically, more from a winger than from the first striker: no one like him knows how to exploit the spaces that Ibra knows how to create with his movement. And also for this reason Milan needs him: run on the left, fatigue, retreats to the rescue of Theo Hernandez, but also filling the penalty area. There where the matches are decided. Where Rebic proved he knows how to be. Starting from the left.
