When you think of the golden oil on the pitch, you will think of Azpilicueta, Saul Negus, and even the older generation of John O'Shea and Zanetti! In fact, Milan also has 2 unknown practical players in recent seasons, who can play most positions on the field.
Fabio Borini (all positions except goalkeeper and centre-back)
Premier League fans may know him a bit, as the centre-forward, who played for Chelsea, Swansea City, Liverpool and Sunderland, joined Milan in the 17/18 season. Fabio Borini's best thing about it is that it is fast in impact, and the left and right foot shots are not bad, and can occasionally perform the flying fairy. Under Gattuso, the team mainly played 433 and 442, Fabio Borini with excellent work efficiency, crazy running, so that he has a stable bench time on the left and right wing positions, but Fabio Borini is not a prolific goalscorer even if he works hard. Later, due to the injury of his teammates and other reasons, Gattuso arranged for him to play as a right-back in the league and even in the Europa League group stage (2 times against Arsenal), and the attack was constructive but the defensive performance was not good. He also played as a left-back in the Coppa Italia, and the effect was equally average. Later, he became coached by Marco Giampaolo and Pioli, using 4312 and 4231 respectively, fabio Borini had fewer opportunities to play, mainly as a center forward, but also played in the front, midfield and back. In the 19/20 season, Fabio Borini was loaned to Verona and later moved to Fatih Karaguruk. Fabio Borini made a total of 75 appearances at Milan, scoring eight goals and delivering six assists. Although he is not a world-class player, his professionalism has won the hearts of many fans.
Rad Krunić (midfielder, back, front, left and right wing, pseudo 9)
He is currently playing for Milan Rad Kronecco, who has been on the bench since joining in 19/20, but has had a steady playing time. Marco Giampaolo mostly used 4312 or 433 during his leadership, and he also had a stable performance. Until Pioli took office, using the 4231 formation, there was no space in midfield, but Rad Krunić's interception was good, plus the ability to pass the ball was good, so that Pioli was assured to let him play at the back. In the 20/21 season, Milan had a Europa League competition, and Pioli also began to try to play Plard Clonitsch as a front and even a right wing, the effect was good, although the team had fewer offensive opportunities, but Rad Klunic's pressing ability successfully enhanced the overall offensive and defensive balance. Milan's left wingers Rafael Leo and Ant Rebić were injured together earlier this season, and Pioli asked Rad Klunic to play on the left. He did not do the effect of Raphael Leo, Ant Rebic and others on offense, but successfully strengthened the defensive strength of the left wing, allowing the offensive left-back Theo Hernandez to rush forward with confidence. Young centre-forward Pietro Pellegri made his first start at Milan in January against Saranritana, but was injured in 15 minutes, with Rad Klunic in danger being appointed as the pseudo-No. 9. Rad Krunić now plays mainly at the back> front > winger and is the team's super practical substitute.
