'Sensi is like Verratti, he is the right man for AC Milan'

'Sensi is like Verratti, he is the right man for AC Milan'

"AC Milan are interested in Stefano Sensi to reinforce the midfield department in January and an ex-Milan player has given his 'go-ahead' for the deal to happen. Alberto Aquilani spoke about his former teammate to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"The right man for Milan? I would say yes because Stefano is young and has great prospects. In the last months, he has grown a lot. He reminds me of Verratti for the way he plays. Both regista and mezzala? Exactly. He can play in both roles in the middle of the field," he said.

"As a regista, he has a very good vision of building the game, even if there is a lack of physicality. Otherwise, if one wants to build a team devoted to dribbling, he is ideal as an internal midfielder.

"Stefano is very polite and an easy-going guy, with his head on his shoulders. What struck me was his attention to the advice I gave him in training. He often ran a bit uselessly and then I suggested him the position to make the most out of his characteristics.

"Gattuso? He was one of the leaders in the locker room at Milan, he had a great personality, so I was not surprised to see him n the bench, rather Gattuso surprised me for the organization of his teams and the constant search for dribbles. He practices a very offensive game," Aquilani concluded.
