Maripan sempre promosso, bene anche quando il Toro fa male: ora il prossimo avversario è il Milan di Gimenez
Maripan has not left the field since his return as a starter, that is, since the first leg match against Bologna. There are now 9 games as an absolute starter without ever even being substituted. The Chilean defender is one of the few granata who regardless of everything always plays well. His performances have always been positive and decisive, especially against Atalanta when, in addition to an excellent defensive phase, he also scored the equalizing goal. The number 13 also played a good game against Bologna, managing to stem the attack of Italiano’s team. Unfortunately, his performance was not enough and the granata lost. Now the next match is against AC Milan and the central defender will face a fearsome opponent: Santi Gimenez. The Mexican immediately settled in Milan by finding the goal right away. The former Monaco man, on the other hand, is one of Vanoli’s few certainties and it will probably be his turn to mark him.
Maripan la rinascita dopo le 5 panchine consecutive
Maripan’s start in the granata jersey was not the best: against Inter his disjointed intervention cost him red again during the first half and against Fiorentina his mistake in marking Kean gave the Viola the winning goal. After the game against Fiorentina then Vanoli had decided to bench the Chilean and kept him there for 5 consecutive games without ever bringing him in. It seems that the bench has done well for the number 13 who since his return to play has not missed a single minute and has consistently offered excellent performances. The statistics only confirm this. In fact, the Chilean makes 1.4 tackles per game, has recovered 3.1 balls per game and has 64% of aerial contrasts won.
Ora arriva il Milan: occhio a Gimenez
Now the next opponent should not be taken lightly. Maripan will most likely have to mark Milan’s number 7, Gimenez. The Mexican has already found the goal in Serie A and does not seem intent on stopping. That is why the marking of the Chilean defender will have to be even more careful than it usually is already.
