After a truly intense month, the moment has come to choose the Rossoneri MVP for January. Stefano Pioli's AC Milan kicked off their 2024 with six fixtures between Serie A and the Coppa Italia, an important moment in our season. More highs than lows, including away wins in Empoli and Udine, as well as the home victory over Roma, have consolidated our position in the standings and brought us closer to Champions League qualification.
Over the first month of the year, various Rossoneri players have stood out on the pitch. However, four of them shone so brightly that they have earned themselves a nomination for MVP for January 2024. In alphabetical order, Yacine Adli got his first goal for the Rossoneri this month, and it opened the scoring in AC Milan v Roma. The goal was long-awaited and well-earned, finished with great elegance to top off a series of good performances in the midfield.
Theo Hernández has also set himself apart in recent weeks. Back at left-back, the Rossoneri number 19 topped off his run of good form with a goal against the Giallorossi as well as providing 4 assists between Udinese in the league, and Cagliari and Atalanta in the Coppa Italia. January saw consistency for Luka Jović who has been doing well since December, confirmed by his MVP win.
The Serbian forward has scored 3 goals this month getting his first Rossoneri brace (against Cagliari) under his belt and scoring another decisive goal against Udinese that incited the comeback, then completed by Okafor’s goal. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, on the other hand, has bagged 4 goals this month: at Empoli, Udinese, and the brace against Bologna for the Englishman who still rules Pioli's midfield after his arrival in the summer.
