Chukwueze wins Milan coach praise after ‘tough time’

Samuel Chukwueze has been praised by AC Milan coach after they dismantled Leece 3-0 to consolidate second place on the Serie A table.

Chukwueze, who has been subject of criticism due to a dip in form since joining the Rossoneri, has now stepped up to earn the praise of coach Stefano Pioli.

The Super Eagles winger has also began to give Pioli selection problems as he had to try out main man Christian Pulisic in a different position (No 10 role) so as to accommodate the impressive Chukwueze.

Despite not being on the score sheet, Chukwueze caught the eye as he created five chances and even got an assist for Christian Pulisic’s goal.

“His mindset has changed. Now he has confidence, is positive, believes in what he does. He understands better what the team needs on the field,” Stefano Pioli told Milanreports.

“He’s a quality player. I’m very happy for him because he went through a tough time: from the outside, everything seems rosy, but players face significant pressures.

“He believed in himself, worked hard, and that pleases me, the club and the team.”
