The Meaning of Krzysztof Piatek’s 30 Goals in the 2018-19 Season

DBasia.news –  Krzysztof Piatek continues to show great performances with AC Milan. The 23-year-old striker was purchased from Genoa with a 35 million euro dowry and has great quality in scoring matters.

Rossoneri purchased Piatek from Genoa in January as a substitute for Gonzalo Higuain who left for Chelsea. Piatek made Gennaro Gattuso as Milan’s main striker in a 4-3-3 tactic with Patrick Cutrone overlaid.

Piatek has scored 22 goals this season in Serie A, along with Duvan Zapata, the Atalanta striker, and is under Serie A top scorer, Fabio Quagliarella, with 26 goals scored. Piatek is above the Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 21 goals.

Milan will still play the last Serie A match against SPAL, Monday (27/5) WIB. Milan fought for a place in the top four of Serie A (Champions League zone) in the match. But, their fate is also still dependent on Atalanta and Inter Milan matches.

If Atalanta win over Sassuolo and Inter beats Empoli, Milan’s victory (if they win) against SPAL, with any score, will be useless. The sharpness of the Polish attacker will be very relied on by Gennaro Gattuso’s care team.

Naturally, if Milan is too dependent on the sharpness of Piatek. This season, with an accumulation of performances with Genoa and Milan – each half of the season – Piatek still sharply scored.

According to records from Calciomercato, Piatek’s 30 goals in all this season’s competition has put him among the top goalscorers in Europe. Piatek in sixth place.

Piatek was in that order after Lionel Messi (50 goals), Kylian Mbappe (38 goals), Robert Lewandowski (38 goals), Sergio Aguero (32 goals), and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (31 goals). Piatek is above Karim Benzema and Wissam Ben Yedder.

“I feel better, I have scored and I am thrilled, also because we won. It is important,” Piatek said, quoted from Football-Italy.

“We believe in the Champions League Qualification. It’s hard to think that I have scored 30 goals in the first season coming from Poland. It’s really unthinkable,” he added.

Piatek only needs to maintain consistency in scoring until the following seasons so as not to be called a one season wonder (players who shine in one season and slump in the next actions).
