Milan midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek says he is enjoying his new role for the Rossoneri, playing a more attacking role for the Rossoneri. The Englishman was responsible for two of Milan’s three goals in their 3-0 win over Rennes in the Europa League on Thursday evening. The former Chelsea midfielder, who once grappled with fitness woes that threatened to derail his career trajectory, has now found a newfound consistency with the Rossoneri.
However, Loftus-Cheek’s transformation goes beyond statistical achievements. Under the tactical guidance of Stefano Pioli, he has been entrusted with a more advanced role, operating as a trequartista positioned just behind the center-forward in Milan’s 4-2-3-1 formation. This tactical adjustment has seen Loftus-Cheek thrive in a position that allows him to showcase his attacking prowess with greater frequency.
Always in control of the game: “Yes, it was a great performance for us today, we had good ball possession, the goal helped us play with ease, but the whole team played an excellent game in view of the return leg.”
You seem happy when you play: “We want to continue having fun, I always feel freer on the field, and this helps a lot in performance.”
You score a lot: “We work on it with the coach, I play closer to the area to score more and be decisive even in those situations. I hope to continue like this.”
The secret: “I feel good physically, a few months ago with the injury I had difficulties, but now it’s going better, and I hope it continues like this. I hope to score even more, my seasonal record is 10, let’s see…”
