Frederico Giunti was impressed with the attitude of the youngster that AC Milan had just signed in the 2nd division of Hungarian football. In addition to not taking his face off the fight, Milos Kerkez showed unusual regularity in training for a young player.
“Since he started training with me, what impressed me the most was his willingness to always train to the limit. That commitment was translated into actions on the pitch, always looking for the opposite goal”, explains the former Italian international. .
At Milanello’s training camp, the competition did not intimidate Kerkez. “Young players are not always capable of training with the same intensity, that is normal. But Milos Kerkez was always on the edge. In addition, he was someone who liked everyone in the dressing room, ”explains the former coach of the Milanese team, a club in which he also played as a player.
“For me he is a modern full-back, with an aptitude for attack. He has great speed to create situations of numerical superiority. He has a great ability to play without the ball, he places it many times in the rival area to assist or complete the plays”, concludes the Italian coach.
The explanation for the departure of AC Milan is easy to find. With Theo Hernández in the main team, Milos Kerkez would have to spend a loan period – very common in Italy – away from Milan or, as it would happen, go to another context. AZ Alkmaar was the chosen port, debuting in the first team months after arriving in the Netherlands.
AC Milan believed in the player and for this reason, explains Frederico Giunti, the Italians reserved a buyback clause. Yes, AC Milan has a repurchase option. But I admit that I don’t know if the club is still interested in having him. For Milos, the most important thing is to go to a club that allows him to play.
A step that must be measured well, especially since there are aspects of Kerkez’s game that still need to be improved. “An aspect to improve, in the defensive phase, is an excessive aggressiveness towards the rivals, which makes Kerkez commit unnecessary fouls. In any case, he is a player who shows a great evolution ”.
Milos Kerkez is an international for Hungary and has started in the last games with the local team. At the service of AZ Alkmaar he has played 50 games and scored five goals in 2022/2023.
