Milan's Andrea Poli backs his team captain Riccardo Montolivo
“Sometimes he’s criticized” he added “very often without a good reason, but he always take his responsibility on the pitch and he has more courage than the others. He has a great personality”
Poli’s words prove that the dressing room is with the former Fiorentina man, and so is the team’s boss Sinisa Mihajlovic. This is by the way a crucial moment for the 30-year-old’s career: during the next transfer window, the rossoneri will in fact try to sign a high-rated midfielder, and he could loose his place as a starter. Moreover, the player has found an agreement to renew his deal with the Lombard club until 2019, and he wants to prove to deserve the new contract.
