Montolivo determined to fight for AC Milan plac

Milan have announced the signing of midfielder Juraj Kucka from Genoa.

Think you know your Italian football?

Kucka, who has been plying his trade in Italy since joining in 2011, has put pen to paper on a four-year contract that will keep him at Milan until 2019. Last season Rogers was guilty of playing many players out of position and in different roles but the calamity signing of Balotelli must not just rest on his shoulders.

Milan opened Serie A with a 2-0 loss at Fiorentina in coach Sinisa Mihajlovic’s debut. He is physically strong and he never gives up.

It has been an exciting few months at the San Siro, with the attacking trio of Luiz Adriano, Carlos Bacca and Mario Balotelli also arriving and there is still a chance to do business ahead of the close of the window on Tuesday. The Rossoneri meet Empoli in their home opener Saturday.

His record of 30 goals in 54 games for Milan before leaving is one that Balotelli will be looking to reproduce, with him revealing that he hopes to perform well enough to be called up to the national team for Euro 2016. Whether Mihajlović plays a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 Balotelli can fit into the system, he can play from the left hand side cutting in or as the striker getting sufficient support.

“He has a moral commitment towards everybody, but I have seen him determined and he will now have to maintain those promises. He has always been a good lad, he knows he has made lots of mistakes and that this is the last chance for him”.
