Switzerland’s head coach Murat Yakin expressed subtle criticism towards AC Milan regarding their utilization of forward Noah Okafor. Despite Okafor’s impactful performance of six goals and three assists in a limited playtime of just over 1,000 minutes last season, Yakin believes the limited playing time at Milan is not ideal, particularly for a striker’s development. Yakin highlighted that Okafor, who is preparing for the European Championship with Switzerland, is best used in positions where he can utilize his speed and ability to cut inside from the flanks, rather than as a traditional number 9.
