Ricci handed second opportunity to impress with starting spot in Milan-Fiorentina

Samuele Ricci is predicted to get the nod in Milan’s sport towards Fiorentina, and after his cameo from begin towards Lecce, it’s a second alternative that he should seize.

Ricci hasn’t had one of the best of begins to the season. Not due to his performances on the pitch, however slightly due to his lack of minutes. Certainly, after a pre-season wherein he was virtually at all times a starter, the 24-year-old hasn’t performed a single league sport from begin.

In fact, having had such a key function at Torino too, it have to be troublesome for the midfielder to take a seat on the bench a lot. Some bench time was at all times anticipated, given Luka Modric’s arrival, however maybe Ricci didn’t count on it to be this a lot.

A possibility to grab

Tomorrow, it appears to be like like Ricci will lastly get his massive likelihood within the league. The midfielder performed from begin within the Coppa Italia conflict Lecce, however he solely obtained 45 minutes after a primary half that left quite a bit to be desired. That is one thing we additionally highlighted in our participant scores for the sport.

To make a protracted argument quick, the previous Torino man didn’t take his likelihood towards Lecce, which makes tomorrow’s sport much more necessary. Seeing as Luka Modric will begin as nicely, Ricci will play to the left within the midfield, which can give him barely totally different tasks.

Throughout pre-season, we noticed that he isn’t afraid to drive ahead with the ball, while additionally focusing quite a bit on the group’s steadiness (i.e. when to push ahead and when to drop again). Since Rabiot is a grasp of this, Ricci must attempt to replicate that tomorrow.

Stefano Pioli, the top coach of Fiorentina, additionally made it clear throughout his presser that they may attempt to restrict Modric as a lot as attainable. That ought to go away Ricci with more room to showcase his good passing. All issues thought of, it’s an important alternative for the midfielder.
