Napoli-Milan, Montella will make only one change
AC Milan will face Serie A leaders Napoli on 18 November. Montella aims to deploy the same lineup with only one exception.
The rossoneri won 0-2 in transfer against Sassuolo and are now preparing for the next match. Serenity has returned in Milanello with Vincenzo Montella safe to coach AC Milan until the next disappointing result. After the international break the rossoneri will face Napoli who are leading Serie A so far. A very taught match on 18 November where the red and blacks need to secure points in order to qualify for next season’s European competitions.
As reported by Premium Sport today, against Napoli, Vincenzo Montella intends to deploy the same formation seen on the field in Reggio Emilia with the exception of Bonaventura who will replace Hakan Calhanoglu. Jack returns after an injury and is expected to start from the first minute even though it will be hard for him to play all the 90 minutes.
The Turkish number 10 failed to impress against Sassuolo and doubts are starting to emerge whether Calhanoglu is Serie A material or not. It’s true that he stayed out of the pitch due to a four-month ban from FIFA but now it’s time for Hakan to demonstrate that he is worthy to wear the jersey previously owned by the likes of Gianni Rivera, Ruud Gullit, Dejan Savicevic, Zvonimir Boban, Rui Costa and Clarence Seedorf.
