GdS: Ricci the 'extra man' for Milan - how he earned Allegri's full trust
"Samuele Ricci had a big hand in AC Milan's winning goal against Pisa on Friday, and he has become the 'extra man' for Massimiliano Allegri."
"We all have to feel like starters. Sometimes you start, other times you come on for five minutes or a quarter of an hour. You always have to be ready. We don't wear just any shirt, we always have to honour it and give more than we can, more than 100%."
"Speaking of Rabiot, the suspension he'll serve against Como opens the door to Ricci at San Siro, where he will return to the starting line-up on Wednesday."
Samuele Ricci provided the assist that led to AC Milan's winning goal against Pisa, setting up Luka Modric shortly after coming on. Ricci has gained Massimiliano Allegri's trust through dedication, tactical intelligence and consistent minutes. He has appeared in 20 league matches and three Coppa Italia games, totaling over 1,100 minutes. Adrien Rabiot's suspension opens a starting spot for Ricci against Como, where he will be expected to control tempo, create chances and contribute to finishing. Ricci can operate as a regista or as a box-to-box midfielder and is valued for adaptability and readiness.
