Praying we have found our 10year CB partnership. Both could even start for Italy one day if Ely naturalise.


He played for the U19 or some other Italian NT. So, he is actually naturalized Italian because his grandparents are of Italian descent...

a brazilian and an italian as the CB pairing.

sounds about right for milan.

thing is, rite now i'd only play Ely-Romagnoli if our midfield was better at keeping the ball as well as winning the ball from the opponents.

if our midfield cant do that one of these two has to start with Paletta or Alex.

not mexes. not zapata.

That's precisely the reason we should play Ely-Alessio
They're way better ball-players than the rest of our CB's and they will help the mid a lot

bit of an understatement lol. hes been our best player in pre season.

Preseason means sweet FA at the end of the day. A few year back Kinglsey Boeteng was our best player, Willy Aubameyang as well.

There is hope for Ely and that's why I personally would throw him in the deep end with straight away. Ely-Roma CB vs Fiorentina.

Brazil's defenders from the last squad called up for their friendly (4 days ago):

Defenders: David Luiz (PSG), Marquinhos (PSG), Miranda (Inter), Gabriel Paulista (Arsenal), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Filipe Luis (Atletico Madrid), Danilo (Real Madrid), Douglas Santos (Atletico Mineiro).

Ely has played only one game for Brazil U23. He's played 3 for Italy U20 and 7 for Italy U19.

Fantastic first half...and people want Rugani to partner Roma...

I think we have potentially the best CB future pairing in Roma and Ely in the Serie A for sure

Average, differ from Romagnoli, he wasnt really give a fight when duel for the ball at air. Mostly he look been threatened because Desciglio was perhaps abit slow when tracking the ball back to his flank.

I thought he was great, how many times did he kill Perugia attacks by anticipating the pass? He destroyed his mark, barely even saw the guy.

Miha complemented him and Romagnoli post game as well

Perugia didn't really challenge him today, the real tests are still to come

Btw, does anybody know if Rodrigo Ely counts as homegrown player for the Champions League? Usually Football Manager and Fifa probably keep good statistics, not sure if he was truly sold or whether he was on loan at Avellino this past year.

AFAIK, to be considered homegrown, you need to have 3 years at the club by age 21, and if the last 3 seasons were through loans, he would qualify. If the last year was instead a final sale to Avellino, then he wouldn't.

We signed him in January 2010 and he left for Avellino in the summer of 2014.

Did we sell him? Or did we loan him for the final season before his contract ended?

Sweet :thumbsup:, that settles it, he's definitely considered home-grown. For some reason, Wikipedia says that he came to Milan at 2012 :fp: ... but yeah I checked, it's wrong information.

Not sure if he counts towards the 25 player rule this year (he's still 21), but if he keeps this up then next year it will be Ely, Abate, De Sciglio and Antonelli our only home-grown players.

The only bad news is that his agent is Mino Raiola.

He counts towards the 25 players rule because he was born before 1994.

I think he won't even count as home-grown because he didn't play 3 seasons with us before turning 21.
