Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze has opened his Serie A account for AC Milan with a beautiful volley against Hellas Verona.
Pioli criticizes Chukwueze
This season, the Nigerian forward has faced some criticism for his performance with Rossonerri as he struggled to find his form. His manager, Stefano Pioli, recently called for improvement from him.
“Pulisic and Chukwueze have the same characteristics, they’re similar players and play the same positions. Pulisic scores goals, gets assists and creates chances. He works, and Chukwueze has to do the same. He has to score goals, to get assists, and has to work,” Pioli said, as per goal.com
Samuel Chukwueze responds to Pioli’s call
However, the former Villarreal player has responded to the challenge, contributing a goal to help Milan secure a 3-1 victory at the Marc Antonio Bentegodi Stadium.
Chukwueze’s wonderful strike came from a corner kick that wasn’t completely cleared. Lurking around the edge of the box, the 24-year-old winger volleyed the ball into the right corner of the post in the 79th minute.
