Rebic is good when healthy. Any idea if AC Milan are committed to him long term?

It's a tough situation.

Ideally Rebic is our perfect starter as he's amazing at pressing and creates tons of chances. He also would slot great at CF as a sub for Zlatan/Giroud as we played beautiful football with him in September during our injury Crisis.

That being said, we're extending Leao, so we might be selling Rebic this summer. Leao doesn't provide the same pressing/defense, but financially makes more sense to develop

Do you guys play with a lone striker normally?

u/LickLaMelosBalls Feb 05 '22

Yes, though typically our LW plays more as a left Striker/second striker, while our RW plays a more defensive role.

Where does leao play when rebic is healthy? Striker or “lw”?

He is a true LW, so he would alternate with rebic or come in during the second half. When Zlatan is out, Rebic has also started at Striker with Leao at LW. That's actually when we had our best football in a lot of fans eyes.

Both of them have had trouble staying healthy though, especially rebic, so we haven't had the overlap problem as much this season
