Who arrived in the summer as a third choice, the Serbian has, at last, given encouraging signs

Jovic was not Milan&#39s first choice this summer. He arrived at Milanello only because negotiations with Taremi and Rafa Mir failed. His impact with the Diavolo è was traumatic. Few minutes on the field and performance not up to the mark. However, with Frosinone, he è finally broke free. His was the goal that unlocked the game, a goal he had been waiting for 189 days.

The Serbian striker, in fact, had not scored since Fiorentina v Roma last May 27. A very long fast that seemed to give strength to the thoughts of detractors, who were sure that the former violet player is not up to Milan&#39s standards. Instead, all of a sudden, è came a goal that could change his story at Milan and, who knows; allow him to stand out.

Pioli believes a lot in his potential: "He has great qualities, now physically he is much better. È a strong player. I try to spur him every day, but he has to demand more of himself", the words of the Rossoneri coach who now hopes to see a different Jovic. Being able to count on the Serbian in attack as well would be crucial for a team struggling with so many injuries.
