September 21st News After Milan defeated Udinese 3-0, former player Elnanes, a guest at DAZN program, commented on the game.

He said: "In my eyes, Pulisic is the 'queen' on the Milan board, the most comprehensive piece. He creates game opportunities and the ending data also tells everything. He is also the most important piece, which can protect the 'king', and his spirit of sacrifice in the off-ball stage is proved. In fact, the second goal comes from his success of a half-stealing."

"Now, Pulisic has two 'hors' around him. In chess, horses not only represent brute force, but also can jump across the line, break the balance with unexpected actions, help the team move forward and get a breather. The 'king' of this stage is Allegri."

"The two horses are Modric and Rabiot. Because of their ability and skills to control the ball, they can always find a way to advance between the opponent's defense lines, so that the team can move forward as a whole."
