CorSera: Milan have experience as ‘goal-hungry strikers’ head to Saudi Arabia

This week, AC Milan, Inter, Napoli and Bologna will travel to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana, with each boasting a goalscorer.

Each team will have their own ambitions for the Supercoppa, but everyone wants to win it. After all, you just need to win two games in a row, and as we saw last year, anything can happen. There could be some giveaways, though.

The stars in Saudi

As Corriere della Sera writes, via MilanNews, each team are heading to the tournament with a ‘goal-hungry striker’, and the four could be the ‘stars of the desert’. Milan boast Christian Pulisic, who is the best performing of them so far.

However, he will also battle against Rasmus Hojlund, Riccardo Orsolini and Lautaro Martinez. Despite his injury, the formerly Milan-linked Dane has four goals this season, whilst Orsoli boasts six. As it stands, Martinez is the top scorer of the division with 8.

They will likely be instrumental to any success in the tournament, and the Rossoneri can have confidence, given how regular the American’s scoring is. Then, there can be confidence taken from the fact that their striker already has experience in this competition.

Of course, Lautaro does too, but his four goals in 509 minutes are trumped by Pulisic’s two goals in 180 minutes.
