"In addition to it being a big game versus a possible top four rival, Samuele Ricci has another reason to try and impress against Atalanta. As Tuttosport (via MilanPress) recall, Ricci arrived at Milan from Torino in the summer window for a figure of €22m plus bonuses as part of the midfield rebuild following the sale of Tijjani Reijnders, along with Ardon Jashari, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot."
"Ricci showed in a recent interview that he has the intelligence and maturity to understand that it's not easy to find playing time at top clubs, despite being the captain at his previous club. Big chances With hard work in training and some injuries in the midfield, Ricci is starting to get some minutes. He will start again this evening - for the third consecutive match - against Atalanta at the New Balance Arena."
Samuele Ricci joined Milan from Torino in the summer for €22m plus bonuses as part of a midfield rebuild following the sale of Tijjani Reijnders. Ricci recognizes the difficulty of securing playing time at top clubs despite previous captaincy. Hard work in training and midfield injuries have opened opportunities, and he is starting his third consecutive match against Atalanta at the New Balance Arena. He is not occupying his natural position but is performing reasonably well, needs confidence and improvement, and can benefit from learning from Luka Modric. Gennaro Gattuso will observe him for potential November selection.
