probably because of all the praying that went into fullbacks after cafu+oddo and serginho+janku started degrading

Locatelli can be the next big italian midfielder, let's hope he can fulfill his potential.

Miha should be a man of his word and should start him over Abate. Wouldn't appreciate another wasted talent.

What's the reason miha took him off? To keep him fit for Genoa next weekend?

Think it was because Miha was afraid Dovan would be too much for him to handle
physically if they faced off. He was substituted right after Dovan got a header over him.

he was already on a yellow, right? probably to keep him from another.
Doesn't make sense to put him ln the field for the second half for just 5 minutes.

You know he has a yellow, and you choose to take him off for that reason after 5 minutes? Doesn't make sense to me. + When dovan was coming, Miha called Zapata before the second half started.

you either sub him at half time to give instructions to the sub or at least let him play a few minutes more
our game changed the exact moment the sub was made

Surely they could've taked about the sub in the half time even if the sub is made after 5 minutes? It happens all the time, it forces the other coach to make the first move and gives us a chance to see how the other team approach the second half.

Don't get me wrong, the move was obviously wrong, especially since the match progressed as it progressed, but I still don't get the point about it being better to sub him at half time than 5 minutes after. Although maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

Idea is it makes zero sense to sub him after 5 minutes ( yellow card wise).

So you mean the sub was provoked by the D. Zapata sub and not the yellow card? Cause in that case, I think you're right

His passing has a way to go

I was thinking that myself. :lol: I hope his development doesn't stall like DeS and he stays fit.

i think he is different than DES. He is already better than DES with ball. A bit weaker than DES in defending but he will improve there. glad we are able to continue producing the FBs

Him getting subbed off really weakened Milan's right flank. Alex has never been acceptable as a fullback.

The kid has no fear and is clearly confident in his ability going forward(good feet) the lack of pace and presence may hinder him in regards to defending though.

Nice surprise this season. I am not going to lie, I have never heard of him before the preseason.
