CorSport: Adli faces parent club Milan with a desire to prove a point | OneFootball

Tonight will be a strange evening for Yacine Adli as he comes up against his parent club AC Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, hoping to show them what they are missing.

As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) recall, Adli wanted to stay and fight for a spot at Milan but ultimately was convinced by Paulo Fonseca and the club to accept a loan spell so that he could play more regularly.

After having made the difference during the week against The New Saints in the Conference League, scoring the goal that unlocked the game after 60 minutes of stalemate, the midfielder should remain as a starter also due to Rolando Mandragora’s knee injury.

Right after the European match, Adli spoke about the game against the Rossoneri and what it will mean for him: “It will be special to meet up with close friends, but now I’m here in Florence where I feel good. We want to win and it will be a great match.”

Adli showed flashes of what he is capable of last season under Stefano Pioli but the arrival of Youssouf Fofana is what seemed to push him down the pecking order and therefore towards the exit door.
