We compared the numbers from last season of three of the Rossoneri goals between midfield and backs, and we found that …
Three names for after Kessie: Renato Sanches, Hamed Traore and Douglas Luiz, the last on the list (the agents were at Milan’s home on Thursday). Small warning for the reader though: if the Portuguese and the Brazilian are considered to all intents and purposes central midfielders, with the former Bayern strong from a past as a playmaker and the other only as a midfielder, Traore is certainly the most offensive. Last year, in Sassuolo, he also played the left winger. Beyond the role, here is a comparison between the three.
Renato Sanches
–
Without Botman, Milan do not want to let Renato Sanches escape. PSG presses and tries to lunge, but the Rossoneri keep up with it. After all, the Portuguese has long been the number one profile to replace Kessie. Born a playmaker or offensive winger, over time he retreated his range of action becoming a director with good feet, while maintaining his offensive nature. Born in 1997, last year he served 5 assists and scored 2 goals in 25 games (20 as a starter). His Achilles heel is injuries: in the last three years in Lille, Sanches has missed 39 games. In comparison with the other two goals he is first for created opportunities (1.9) and above all balls played, 81, twenty more than the others. Sanches is one of those players who lets himself be given the ball to manage. Head held high, the years on the trocar helped him take risks. Last year he won Ligue 1 with Maignan, in August the Super Cup, in 2016 the European Championship. He is the one with the most trophies of the three.
Douglas Luiz
–
Douglas Luiz is the classic all-court midfielder. In the last 3 years he has only missed 11 games out of 114 in the Premier League, star of Aston Villa and future of Seleçao, with whom he won Olympic gold in Tokyo in the summer and played nine games with the greats. At the time of Vasco da Gama, in the youth team, he also played right-back, a symbol of how good he is to adapt in all circumstances. In the Villans he plays as the central pivot of a three-man midfield, 31 appearances from the first minute out of 34 appearances (2 goals and 3 assists). Few shots in the mirror, 53, but he wins at least two tackles per game. More than the other two colleagues. The average touches in the opposing area is 0.3, very rare, but we said it earlier: Luiz is a midfielder of determination, running, substance and good technique, as evidenced by 87% of the passes he managed this season.
Traore
–
As we said, it is the most offensive of the three. The Sassuolo talented player, 22, with 8 goals and 4 assists in the last season, can also play the winger and the midfielder. Born as an attacking midfielder, in the Empoli Primavera he played for 10, then De Zerbi and Dionisi made him an all-round attacking player, a bit playmaker and a bit winger. There in Milan there is Leao, a sacred role, so Traore would go to the Brahim Diaz, or rather the support to the first striker ready to vary. The numbers photograph a whimsical player: he has 65% of the shots on target, creates 1.8 chances per game and plays an average of 63 balls. Less than Renato Sanches. However, compared to his colleagues, he claims the dribbling card: 3.1 successful. Finally, the number of touches in the opponent’s area stands out, 4.9, testimony of how he has always played close to the goal. And one more weapon.
