Charles don’t be afraid to take that penalty. And the fear dissolved in an instant. The defeat against Real Madrid may have been a bittersweet defeat, but there was no shortage of positive signs after a battle that lasted 90 minutes. Above all the personality of De Ketelaerea player who has become key in the game of Gaspnot only for the technical qualities – clearly decisive on cup nights – but for the personality shown in the last two months, a notable, exponential growth.
Big regret
Similar performances, beyond the uncomfortable comparisons (first new Kakà, then new Ilicic), increase the confidence of a player capable of raising the bar, but above all of an aware attacking midfielder, who now only plays with his head held high, especially in evenings like that. And the Rossoneri’s regret also concerns the operation with which he was first brought to Italy, only to be sold in a way that was too easy to seem true.
Golden attackers
Note of merit also for Ademola Lookman, who for a good 25 minutes allowed the Nerazzurri to cultivate the comeback dream: “Tough match today, they took their opportunities when they had them. Real is a very qualitative team, we knew they would It was difficult. We were unlucky, but we go out with our heads held high. Today is another big step for us. In some moments we showed great quality, it will be important to start again.” Only one more flicker was missing, but the Goddess he placed another brick. Thanks to Ademola and Charles, two more Nerazzurri jewels.
