The right choices of De Sciglio and Constant Compared to the beginning of the season we found two new back players
Mattia De Sciglio and Kevin Constant. The Rossonero kid with high hopes and the usual gift bag from FCGenoa. Kevin and Matt are two different players, two different people, two different athletes, but they have in common the fact that they have finally solved the problem of the right an left backs of ACMilan.
The young Rossonero De Sciglio, “casciavit” (in Milan we used to call in this way the ACMilan supporters) to the bone, has finally overtaken Abate in hierarchies and took possession of the right lane, making him one of the most full-backs prospect in whole Italian and European football scene. A few flaws, a “polite” foot, already mature in body and in personality traits. quite embarrassing for such ostentatious security, in spite of the identity card.
The Franco-Guinean Constant, after a impressive beginning career - he won an Under 20 World Cup as a protagonist – he seemed to be lost for a period in France, but then he redeemed at Chievo Verona in the Veneto region. After one year he was transferred at FCGenoa and then, last summer, Kevin joined the Rossoneri. Under the shade of the Lantern (so called the local lighthouse, the city of Genoa’s symbol) he had poor performance and many groans; under the Madonnina (the statue on the top of our Dome) he first had a terrific start, many whistles in San Siro, and was very hard to find him a position in the field.
Great Allegri to believe in him and find for him the left-back role, that he played perhaps with some smears but with confidence and personality.
After a few years of tribulation with the lane backs, people with low tecninque and a lame race (but strong Milan fans!), AC Milan finally managed to find a stable equilibrium on the lanes. The result is an improved balance of the team and distribution of balls, that ACMilan has benefited in terms of operations and results. We hope the market in January will bring another right back-fielder, to allow Mattia De Sciglio to run undisturbed to the baseline to cross, and be even stronger in attacking.
