Yunus Musah supporting Emerson Royal to calm the fury of Vinicius junior was a move that contributed significantly to the historic success achieved by Milan on the Real Madrid pitch. The American footballer who grew up in Italy in the new role of right winger carried out an essential job. “Chosen specifically for the occasion by Fonseca with the task of always doubling Vinicius, he applies himself without saying a word and even leads some restarts”, the opinion of ‘TuttoMercatoWeb.com’.
This is the analysis from the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’: “Attacking winger in the 4-2-3-1, but when not in possession he plays as a right-back. He covers the entire right flank with personality and being careful not to make mistakes.” “The tip of the balance. When not in possession he becomes a defensive fifth to help Emerson on Vinicius. He moves up to the attacking midfield when Milan attack. Doubling is fundamental”, adds the ‘Corriere dello Sport’.
Thus ‘TuttoSport’ on newsstands this morning: “Fonseca entrusts him with the task of helping Emerson limit Vinicius. Mission accomplished”. This is the opinion of ‘Corriere della Sera’: “He runs like a madman on the right flank, transforming the defense from four to five. Superlative match in terms of pace and tactical attention.” “He does everything, and very well: the full-back, the midfielder and the winger”, the inspiration from ‘La Repubblica’.
