Milan substitution Bologna substitution Chile – 2:45 PM in ESPN and Star+

A big challenge for the side but an opportunity to show some grit and take home all three points.

He will nonetheless be a menace for Messias to get past but will equally press up and threaten Calabria if given the space. The fewer balls being played in and over the top, the fewer chances to test Maignan. He has an aerial advantage over Medel in this game which Pioli should be looking to exploit but also his hold up play can allow Leao and Messias into the game for either to score their first.

In his first start for Milan, attacking midfielder Charles De Ketelaere was in fine form, providing an assist in the 2-0 win against Bologna.

In the second 45, he scored his first goal of the season, putting the game away for the Rossoneri. Even though his turnover led to Milan’s opening goal, Schouten was Bologna’s most impressive midfielder for much of the match. He managed a few clever combinations with Arnautovic, but it was not enough to break through the Milan defense. Sansone’s entrance to the match injected pace and creativity into Bologna’s attack. De Ketelaere was instrumental in Milan’s opening goal, winning a tackle in the midfield before finding Leao for the assist. He made a number of clumsy challenges, and he lacked the incisive through-balls that he provided against Atalanta. Just two days after moving from Genk, Lucumi was thrust into the backline and was tasked with marking Giroud. He was exceptional in his one-on-one defending and dominated in the air, making it difficult for Bologna to complete crosses. Despite his side’s loss, the Polish net-minder played at a high level. Against Bologna’s compact three-man backline, Hernandez and Rafael Leao were able to exploit the ample space in the channel. Finally getting his first start for Milan, the young Belgian was in fine form. The hosts’ defense was in elite form and did not allow its opponents a single shot on goal.
