Brahim Díaz (21 years old) is one of the most dangerous weapons of the reborn Milan of Pioli. However, its tusk has a different edge depending on the competition played. Although in the Europa League it is one of the most outstanding week after week, in Serie A the story is very different. The last games against Celtic and Sampdoria are a good example of this. Against the Scots, despite starting from the bench, they closed the Rossonera victory (4-2) with a goal in the 82nd minute. Before the Blucerchiati He started, but changed at halftime and from the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ they described him as the worst Milan player of the clash. Differences.
Just over half an hour against Celtic was enough to show that Europe is his favorite hunting ground, as the three goals accumulated in 306 minutes. Figures colliding with the only goal scored in Serie A in 337 ‘. Worse returns in longer playing time. The situation is not alarming, far from it, because at the club they are tremendously happy with their work and the player himself seems to have fallen on his feet in the city and the dressing room, but the difference in performance between competitions is still curious.
Their 45 minutes in the victory against Sampdoria (1-2) received a ‘5’ by the Italian newspaper and their performance highlight that “when it accelerates, it is a joy to behold because it combines quality quickly “. While they point out that” in others, shows to be clearly in the study phase “. His unfortunate first half saw Jens Petter Hauge contest the second 45 minutes instead.
Castillejo, the best
While another from Malaga took the other part of the scale, Samu Castillejo. The 25-year-old winger was the most outstanding of Pioli’s team and his performance on the pitch earned him a ‘7’ as a final mark. He entered the field at 76 ‘and a minute later he had already scored his first goal of the season, which was the final 1-2. Reach out and kiss the saint. “It will not be a feast for the eyes, it will not make heels or stroke the ball, but how much intensity, enthusiasm and desire to move around the field does it give you”, highlighted the Journal.
The Spanish needed a performance of this caliberas his course was far from his excellent level of the most recent past. The explosion of Alexis Saelemaekers (21 years) and a not quite brilliant state of form had plunged him into a fallow from which he will come out with minutes like those played against Sampdoria.
