With Hernandez, Giroud and Maignan, AC Milan is counting on its French to win the title
Stefano Pioli watched the French team’s games attentively during the international break, and it probably cheered him up after the Nazionale defeat in the play-offs against North Macedonia (0-1) since the French players of his team distinguished themselves and came back unscathed.
“I followed them yesnamed the coach of the rossoneri in a pre-match press conference. I’m happy for Olivier. As for Theo, well, Deschamps has gone to a three-man defense since he called him up. » Giroud played 155 minutes over the two games and extended his excellent form with two new goals. At the moment, he is the No. 1 choice at centre-forward, relegating Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the bench, who is ready to make a valuable contribution during the game.
Kalulu maybe called
Hernandez distributed his fourth assist in Blue (against Côte d’Ivoire, 2-1, March 25) and reached the bar of ten since they are added to the six with AC Milan, but at the side position left in a four-man rearguard. Finally, goalkeeper Mike Maignan had his second cap and his first tenure against South Africa, with a clean sheet (5-0 victory on March 29) as has already happened to him eleven times in Serie A. , no goalkeeper doing better in Italy.
All will start the match against Bologna tonight and Pierre Kalulu has a good chance of completing this tricolor enclave. Pioli has more and more confidence in the international hopeful in the center of defense, he is even the thirteenth most used player in the Milan squad. Four French out of eleven at kick-off, this has already happened on seven occasions this season (five in the Championship and two in the Italian Cup), and AC Milan has won each time.
