Could Verona have been the turning point in Filippo Terracciano's career? Before Friday night's match, the class of 2023 had made five appearances in this championship, all as a left-back as a substitute for Theo Hernandez. At “Bentegodi”, however, Fonseca deployed him as a midfielder alongside Youssof Fofana, moving Reijnders a little further forward in the role of central attacking midfielder.
Role
The Terracciano match certainly benefited from this. The former Verona player moved well, fought, felt comfortable and also managed to be quite effective when not in possession. In essence, he demonstrated that he can play that position: “Many people – explained Filippo in the post-match conference – don't know that I feel the role of midfielder is mine, it suits my characteristics, I feel good in this position”. Probably, even considering the emergency, Fonseca will propose him again in that role shortly.
Future
With the change of role, the near future of Terracciano could also change. For him there was talk of a sale in January, but, at this point, it is more likely that he will remain at Milan. His father also confirmed this, interviewed by MilanNews.it: “To date we have received nothing from the club. I know there are requests but nothing has been said to Filippo. Filippo always says: if the club wants me , I'm staying here. And to date we haven't been informed of any decisions regarding loans or transfers. Everything changes in football from one day to the next, situations and dynamics that we don't know about can happen “.
