In the current season, AC Milan's performance has been a roller coaster, mostly at a low ebb, resulting in an unsatisfactory overall performance. After 28 rounds of Serie A battles, they have only won 15 matches, 6 draws and 7 defeats, accumulating 51 points, and are currently only in third place. The huge difference between them and Napoli has made them farther and farther away from the Serie A title race.

Coach Pioli seems to have hit a bottleneck in his coaching career this season. His tactical setup and hiring strategy has also been criticized a lot. In the midfield configuration, Pioli puts a lot of trust in players such as Tornari, Bennacer, Krunic and so on, but there is a talented midfield player who is neglected by him. The talented player who was neglected by Pioli is Adeli from France.

At only 22 years old, Adli is regarded as a new generation of French midfield talent. As a midfielder, his all-round ability is remarkable. He is capable of tackling and stealing as well as acting as an attacking organizer. In speed, strength, defense, dribbling, passing, shooting and other six technical indicators, he is outstanding, can be called the midfield "oil".

In last season's Ligue 1, Adli scored 36 goals and contributed 1 goal and 7 assists for Bordeaux, showing excellent creativity in front of goal. However, his style of play is too mild, with a slow tempo of ball control and passing, average resistance to pressure, and a lack of rhythm. Therefore, after joining Milan, Adli did not get Pioli's full trust. Up to now, 27 rounds of Serie A matches have been played, and Adli has only made 5 appearances, including only 1 debut.

It is obvious that in Pioli's tactical system, Adli is only a dispensable marginal player, or even a chicken rib. For the 22-year-old Adli, he is in the rising period of professional players. If he is abandoned at this time, it will undoubtedly cause a major blow to his career development.

Unsurprisingly, Adli could be looking for a new owner when the transfer window opens this summer. It is reported that Serie A teams such as Torino, Samp and Bologna have shown interest in him, so he is not worried about finding a new owner. But no matter which club he joins, Adli will need to make up for his shortcomings in order to gain a foothold in the new environment.
