Ante Rebic has hinted that Milan boss Marco Giampaolo should change formation after suggesting his best position is on the left wing.
Giampaolo has begun his reign as Milan boss with primarily a 4-3-1-2 system, although Rebic played the last few minutes against Inter in his favoured role.
“As a kid I was a No 6 or a No 8, a midfielder,” the Eintracht Frankfurt loanee told the club’s official website.

“As a kid I was a No 6 or a No 8, a midfielder,” the Eintracht Frankfurt loanee told the club’s official website.
“Then, at the age of 17, when I played for RNK Spalato, my then-Coach Ivan Matic lined me up on the left wing, and that’s how I play on the left now.
“As soon as I heard about Milan’s interest, I immediately called my father and he told me to accept the ofer, of course.
“He told me that were one of the best clubs in Italy and that I had to accept them, absolutely.
“I’m very happy and proud to be here. I also spoke to Boban, who explained to me what the club expected from me. It’s an honour and a responsibility for everyone.
“I want to show everyone that I’ve improved a lot compared to my last experience in Serie A [with Fiorentina].
“I also want to show I deserve to be here and that I’m worthy of representing Milan.”
