Pancaro: "In Italy there is no alternative to Leao. De Ketelaere? He has talent and class."
Giuseppe Pancaro, former Milan player, spoke exclusively to the microphones of MilanNews.it. Below are the questions and answers:
Mr. Pancaro, after the draw in Salzburg what will Milan have to do against Dinamo Zagreb?
"It goes without saying that it is important to win against Dinamo Zagreb. I think this Milan team has all the cards to be able to do it. The group is still wide open, Milan can qualify as the first place team, so this match will also be decisive."
Do you think Milan is favored to reconfirm as Italian champions?
"At the beginning of the championship I thought it would be a head-to-head between Milan and Inter. The Milanese will definitely play to win the championship, we will have to see if Napoli will be able to keep this pace. Sunday's match will be very important."
Against Napoli, Rafael Leao will be missing, what solutions will Pioli have to adopt?
"Leao's absence will be very heavy for Milan. While it is true that the Rossoneri are doing extraordinary things in all respects, Leao is that player who breaks your bank. He creates numerical superiority, scores and makes you score. I think he is difficult to replace, I don't think there is an alternative to him in the Italian league. Pioli, however, against Napoli will find the right solutions to be able to replace him."
Are you convinced by this start to the season of Charles De Ketelaere?
"I like De Ketelaere very much. He is talented, has class and almost always makes the right choice. Like everyone, he needs a minimum of time to settle into a new team, get to know new teammates and settle into another reality like Italian soccer. Even in these first outings of his I have appreciated him a lot."
Can we consider Simon Kjaer as a new signing after returning from serious injury?
"Kjaer is part of a remarkable number of players who have performed at a very high level at AC Milan. Here great credit must be given to Pioli, the club, Maldini and Massara who are carrying out an extraordinary job."
Is Mike Maignan the strongest goalkeeper in Europe?
"Definitely Maignan is among the absolute strongest goalkeepers in Europe."
10 mins on his Milan days and from Nils Liedholm to Senna. I read it was Roma where Berlu refused his transfer. Must listen, Keys was an asshole as ever glad Gray wasn't around for interview.
