Chukwueze earns pundit praise for classy, powerful debut goal
Posted : 14 August 2023
In a splendid display of his prowess, Samuel Chukwueze secured his debut goal in AC Milan's vibrant victory over Novara, marking their conclusive pre-season friendly with a 4-2 triumph.
The iconic seven-time European champions, under the guidance of AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli, artfully shuffled their starting lineup following their recent encounter with Etoile du Sahel, ensuring that every squad member gained invaluable playing minutes.
Chukwueze's striking presence came to fruition a mere nine minutes into the engaging contest. Capitalizing on a momentary lapse, he deftly seized an opportunity arising from a loose throw-in, expertly navigating past goalkeeper Desjardins and calmly slotting the ball into an unguarded net.
However, his contribution didn't end there. The former Villarreal player played a pivotal role in setting up Milan's second goal, orchestrated by Noah Okafor.
As the Swiss international of Nigerian descent fired in a rebound, courtesy of Chukwueze's penetrating shot, the Super Eagles winger's influence continued to shine.
Hailing Chukwueze's impact, Calciomercato's esteemed reporter Simone Gervasio lauded his performance, ranking him among the top three exceptional AC Milan players on display at the Centro Sportivo Milanello.
Gervasio vividly depicted Chukwueze's maiden goal for the Rossoneri, attributing it to his adept ball recovery alongside Okafor, followed by an electrifying charge towards the goal.
With finesse and power, Chukwueze maneuvered past the goalkeeper, outwitted the defenders stationed along the line, and elegantly netted the ball.
The scoring tableau was embellished by the contributions of Davide Calabria and Lorenzo Colombo for Milan, while Novara's tally was fortified by Niccolo Corti and Luca Prinelli.
As AC Milan prepares for the forthcoming season, Samuel Chukwueze, donning the revered number 21 jersey, is set to embark on his Italian Serie A debut on August 21, as the Rossoneri take on Bologna in their inaugural competitive match of the exhilarating 2023-2024 season.
