Samuel Chukwueze: Another false dawn or much-needed Milan upswing?
The forward netted for the first time in Serie A before the international break, but has that really moved the needle for the struggling Super Eagles forward?
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leão secured the victory with goals on either side of a spectacular strike by Alfred Duncan.
Praise from Teammates and Coach
Rafael Leão, AC Milan's Portuguese star, expressed his delight in Chukwueze's performance, emphasizing the positive impact it had on the team.

"Today, I have to talk about Chukwueze because he played a great game," Leão exclaimed, as reported by Sportmediaset.
"I’m very happy for him because he had delicate moments. I’m very happy for him."

Coach Stefano Pioli echoed Leão's sentiments, praising Chukwueze's increased confidence following his recent goal against Hellas Verona. Pioli emphasized Chukwueze's quality and predicted future success for the player.

"He is a player who will give us satisfaction because he has quality," Pioli affirmed, as reported by Milan News. "He needed more time to settle in, but he knows what we want from him and what he can give to the team."
Chukwueze's Stellar Performance
Nigerian sensation Samuel Chukwueze showcased his talent during the match, leaving spectators in awe of his exceptional display.
Despite not finding the net himself, Chukwueze proved to be a relentless force on the pitch for the 73 minutes he played.

His contributions were evident as he made 44 touches, delivered two key passes, created a significant chance, and forced goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano into action with a headed effort on target.
Defensively, Chukwueze was equally impressive, winning four out of five duels and completing two of three dribbles, effectively alleviating pressure on his team.
Chukwueze, who scored six goals in 37 La Liga appearances for Villarreal last season, has had a slower start in Serie A, managing only one goal in 18 outings for AC Milan.
Nonetheless, his performance against Fiorentina demonstrates his potential to make significant contributions to the team's success.
