French defender, Pierre Kalolo Kiatingwa (24 years old), will lead the defense of his current team, Juventus, against his former team, Milan, in the 21st week of the Italian Football League, which will be held today, Saturday, as the player who grew up in the French team Lyon will be among the stars of the confrontation. Considering that at the beginning of the season he was a Milan player.
The deal between Juventus and Milan sparked great controversy among Calcio, because Milan was suffering from weak defensive solutions, and despite that, it loaned its French defender, with the priority of buying the contract by Juventus, only for it to become clear later that it was hasty in its decision, given that Calolo offers great levels and reservations. A key place in Juventus’ defense.
Kalulu’s brilliance caused embarrassment to Milan club president’s advisor, the Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was subjected to severe criticism, as the club found difficulties in securing the right side of the defence, while Kalulu was making a difference with his new team and constantly shining. The criticism came mainly from Italian coaching giant Fabio Capello. He considered it illogical for the club to take this step, and losing a very important player who would have given the team a strong boost.
-Kalulu stood out with Milan three seasons ago, and was brilliant in most of the matches. He played in the defense or right position, and he was among the most successful deals made by the former sporting director, the Italian Paolo Maldini, who joined him to Milan from Lyon in 2020, for a sum of money. My money is close to a million euros, and now it will save the club about 20 million euros, and Juventus may miss out on it in the future for a larger amount.
Kalulu’s success with Juventus repeats the scenario of the Rossoneri’s previous experience with its Italian star, Andrea Pirlo, who was abandoned by Milan in 2011 and left for the Bianconeri. It was believed that he was no longer able to provide the addition, but he contributed to Juventus’ return to winning titles and brilliance. On the global level, he became one of the best midfielders, before later coaching Juventus for a period.
Although there have been many deals between the two clubs throughout history, such as the Italians Roberto Baggio, Filippo Inzaghi and Leonardo Bonucci, the situation this time was different, because Ibrahimovic’s behavior was not expected, and it seems that he did not believe that the French defender would regain his level quickly, but the previous matches It revealed Kalolo’s high readiness.
