There wasn’t a lot to rejoice as AC Milan drew in opposition to Genoa to dampen the one hundred and twenty fifth birthday celebrations, however Alex Jimenez’s efficiency was a optimistic.
As recall, Mattia Liberali and Francesco Camarda had been supported with chants and Jimenez himself obtained plenty of applause because the Futuro trio warmed up earlier than final night time’s recreation in opposition to the Rossoblu.

Jimenez was among the many finest – if not the most effective, – on the pitch for the Rossoneri. He mixed nicely with Rafael Leao down that flank, went into each problem with tenacity, obtained ahead along with his tempo and made good actions.
The 19-year-old obtained Vogliacco and Zanoli booked and it raises questions on how lengthy he has been prepared for. He may even play right-back given he’s right-footed, provided that amongst his most important strengths can be tactical versatility.
This season Fonseca has typically most well-liked Filippo Terracciano, a participant who’s actually dependable however with a technical degree that’s actually inferior to that of the Spaniard.
