Costacurta singles out Thiaw as Milan ‘must intervene’ in defence: “Major flaw” | OneFootball

Billy Costacurta has criticised Malick Thiaw in the past and after yesterday’s 2-2 draw against Fiorentina, the AC Milan legend singled out the German international again.

Milan conceded two goals within the first ten minutes of yesterday’s game, one of which was an own-goal from Thiaw, and the defending wasn’t exactly brilliant on the second goal either. As such, Thiaw and his colleagues received heavy criticism from the papers this morning.

Speaking live on Sky Italia after the game, as transcribed by MilanNews, Costacurta shared his thoughts on Milkan’s situation and urged them to ‘intervene’ in defende. Above all, he highlighted the weird movement of Thiaw.

“Milan can’t find continuity because they don’t have the concentration for 90 minutes. It’s a major flaw of some players that affects the team. Milan must intervene in defence. I can’t understand the movement of Thiaw,” he stated.

Indeed, the German international took up a strange position on the second goal, pushing up just before Moise Kean received the ball. It’s not the first time that Costacurta has criticised him either, almost ending up in an argument with Matteo Gabbia at the start of last year.
