The fact that Shevchenko scored 175 goals for Milan in 7 seasons (of which only 12 goals came in the 02/03 season and 08/09 season) is a fact that very few people speak about. To hit 163 goals in 5 seasons is a strike rate of almost 33 goals per season. And he did it at a time

Shevchenko played for Milan from 99/00 to 2005/06. That's 7 season right there. In these 7 season he scored 175 goals for the club.
So 175/7 = 25G per season. That is some unreal strike rate. And this at a time when Serie A was one of the best leagues in the world

Initially when Kessie started playing for Milan he played as a right sided half winger or a mezzala as Italians like to call it in a 4-3-3. But at that point of time his form was fluctuating
The real change came when Pioli switched to a 4-2-3-1 where he formed a Double Pivot

Kessie, even though he is not the tallest is a very well built player standing at 183 cm and was moulded in the Gasperini academy of pressing. Pioli, as seen in this GIF below would have him play a physical battle against the opposition's strongest player.

Krunic was one of our best players towards the end of last season. But he wasn't a fan favourite so people never recognised his contribution. It's right to see that he's been given some recognition now. For me Krunic seems to get better with time. At the peak of his career he's
