This star pair could be a pillar of Marco Giampaolo in the AC Milan defense line

Davide Calabria and Andrea Conti may be the mainstays of a difficult defense in the AC Milan coach Marco Giampaolo's draft.

According to football news Milan News, Calabria and Conti are the best choice because of their tenacity in protecting the good side of the field. For now, the two players will play alternately.

Calabria became the first player to make debut in several Rossoneri matches. However, Conti must always be an alternative choice as a line of defense.


Although still on the bench, Conti doesn't seem to care, because the 25-year-old looks very loyal to AC Milan. This has been proven by his rejection of offers of other clubs in the transfer market last summer.

If you look at the statistics, Davide Calabria and Andrea Conti have an advantage in the field of defense. The abilities of these two players also complement each other if they are positioned for various types of opponents on the field.

Reported by the Whoscored website, Calabria has the advantage of handling, strong pass, strong keeper and winning the ball. Throughout the 2018/19 season, he was noted for contributing goals and assisting in 33 appearances for AC Milan.

Meanwhile, Conti is known to be very good at winning and defending the ball, taking the initiative to defend it and fight the air duels. Noted, the player with number 12 provided three assists in 16 appearances during the 2018/19 season.

With these advantages, Marco Giampaolo is confident enough to entrust the AC Milan team's defense to Calabria and Conti, especially for some upcoming Italian Serie A matches.
