In what role will the new faces of Serie A play? A question that everyone asks themselves, in different contexts, from the moment their team enters the field to the beginning of the fantasy football auction. There is always curiosity about the arrival of a new player, a player who comes either from another club in the same league or from another championship. The curiosity to try to guess where and how he could fit into the chessboard of his new coach.
In this serie which will accompany you (and be updated with every official announcement) throughout the month of August, we have already analyzed Inter. Let’s now move on to the other side of Milan, the Rossoneri one. For over 30 million euros, in the new Milan by Paulo Fonseca, only a couple of players have landed, at least so far. Who are they? And in what role will the Portuguese coach promote them?
In order of role, going from bottom to top in the eleven that is usually drawn by any coach. central defender It is one of the first roles to be mentioned, one of the pillars of the formation. And the defense is precisely that department in which Stefano Pioli’s last Milan suffered the most, between injuries and the inadequacy of the interpreters to the tactical system.
Strahinja Pavlovicwho landed in the red and black for around 20 million euros, will be the profile that Fonseca will pair with Fikayo Tomori. A rocky, rough and very powerful defender in a pair that on paper could be complete. While waiting for the first outings, we can let our imagination run wild and, connected to recent results, propose Pavlovic as a starter. An interesting 2001 who will immediately have all eyes on him.
The one of Alvaro Morata It was a long summer, with a couple of happy endings. From captain of Spain he became European Champion, despite the many criticisms that flew towards him during the entire competition. At the end of the tournament he said goodbye to Madrid in a hurry to return to Italy, where, according to him, he is more recognized for his work.
In the new Milan branded Fonseca he will have the honor and the burden of replacing Olivier Giroud. Different physical characteristics and more or less similar tasks. Alvaro Morata will also play like central striker rossonero, top and potential finisher of a three-quarter line with a lot of talent and many assists in the ropes. All the experts agree, regardless of the numbers, on the value of the Spanish centre-forward, who could find himself in a team very suited to joining up front. After his adventure in the national team and a performance often discussed by his detractors, he returns to Italy with a different experience.
