To be fair this old retiring striker was also the top scorer of our club at the age of 35-36 back in few seasons ago (scored 28 goals in a season, more than any of our current front 3 ever achieved)
People look at leagues instead of teams, tactics and coaches.
Salah flopped in Chelsea, but had very good spells at Montella's Fiorentina and Spalletti's Roma.
EPL fans downplayed it as "it's just Serie A, he's an EPL reject".
But then he went on to do much better in Liverpool than he ever did in Italy.
Roma has a very attack-minded team. Their attackers can create chances on their own. The CBs are expected to clean up after their attackers. This is why Smalling is excelling. He may not be a great passer, but he's strong defensively, don't you agree?
Zlatan is Zlatan.
As for Young, Conte is known for bringing an end product out of workhorses. Giaccherini and Eder for Italy, Moses and Alonso for Chelsea, Simone Pepe and Matri for Juventus.
If Dalot had arrived in Milan a few years earlier he would've had a rough time. Our previous coaches prioritized defending skills from our fullbacks. The approach was very conservative. He would've looked out of place.
Pioli's Milan is nothing like the Milan of last decade. It's a young, talented, harmonic, enthusiastic squad that's scoring goals galore. He fits right in.
However there's stiff competition. Theo Hernandez at LB. A Calabria on the rise at RB. An overabundance of extremely talented wingers like Rebic, Leao and Diaz.
Dalot is yet to debut in Serie A.
