Malick Thiaw could not possibly have dreamed of a better debut with the Milan shirt: despite entering only in the 82nd minute, on Sunday against Verona the German defender was decisive and saved the Rossoneri goal twice with two incredible closings that allowed the Devil to leave the Bentegodi with the three points in his pocket.
WHAT SAVINGS! – This morning was reported by Tuttosport who talks about these two interventions: the first in the 87th minute when Thiaw slipped a safe shot from Depaoli, while the second was in the 89th minute when the German intercepted a few centimeters from the goal line a ball always kicked by Depaoli who was about to enter the net with Tatarusanu already beaten. Two prodigious rescues that in a few minutes made everyone aware of Malick’s defensive qualities.
NEW RESOURCE – Before Sunday Stefano Pioli had never used him even for a minute, while now he knows he can also count on him in defense. The player, who arrived permanently from Schalke 04 in the summer, was not included in the UEFA squad and therefore can only be deployed in the league. After an initial period of acclimatization, during which he worked hard to understand and learn Pioli’s requests, now Thiaw wants to become an important resource for the Devil.
