GdS: Many roles and many jeers – San Siro’s treatment of Musah deserves questioning
Yunus Musah left the field to jeers during AC Milan’s win over Como as he was replaced in the second half, ending his March in a negative way.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, Musah will no longer have to play at San Siro in March and it might be for the best, in order to forget and start again after what has been a very difficult recent period for him.
Against Lazio, at the beginning of the month, he was substituted in the 37th minute. Not in the second half, in the first. Against Como, he missed an empty net early on and – when he was withdrawn in the second half – was booed by the entire stadium.
Musah has been criticised a lot in recent days but those boos are not in line with the ethical code of San Siro in recent weeks. He played a bad game against Como but once again he showed intensity, fight and the desire to make things happen, all qualities the supporters have actually been asking for.
The USA international doesn’t have the technique of a top Serie A player, but the fact he has only scored twice in his senior professional career says a lot. With Milan he has 54 games and no goals, while this season is the Serie A player with the most expected goals among those yet to score.
Against Napoli he came very close, then he hit the post against Girona, he wasted a big chance against Verona and against Bologna he did everything but score after a chance he created from a dribble, drawing a save from Skorupski.
The numbers are clear but the eye test is equality important. Versatility is his biggest strength: Paulo Fonseca and Sergio Conceiçao used him in five positions including two midfield positions, as a right-back, a right-winger and even behind the striker.
Musah will do the classic double flight over the ocean during this break. USA boss Mauricio Pochettino called him up for the Final Four of the CONCACAF Nations League games against Panama in the semi-finals and – if they get through – either Mexico or Canada.
Yunus will get rest after that because he was booked against Como, reaching the threshold and thus having to serve a one-game suspension versus Napoli. Conceiçao will have to find another solution and he is not used to it: the last time he didn’t start when availabke was against Como in January.
