This weekend, Davide Bartesaghi will start against Juventus. However, as the report looks into, things could have been much different for the AC Milan youngster.
Juventus is one of the big fixtures on the calendar, and for it to follow the win against Napoli is a big chance for Milan to really establish themselves as Scudetto contenders. However, they will be forced into making a change.
Pervis Estupinan’s red card could have completely altered the mood around the Rossoneri. Nevertheless, they kept their lead, and he has not hidden from the mistake, though this will not get him out of a suspension.
Bartesaghi’s chance
In his place, Davide Bartesaghi will take to the field. The young Italian will make his first Serie A start of the season, as Calciomercato.com writes, though Allegri is not worried, and has ‘full faith’ in the youngster.
Last summer, as the report continues, the left-back had several suitors, from Serie A to Serie B clubs. Allegri requested that they be turned down, though, seeing his qualities early on. So, now that faith will be asked to be repaid.
In the final half hour of the game against Napoli, the young Italian was solid enough. However, the challenge of Juventus, away from home, will be one that could be defining.
