I don t see why not. We all have our ups and downs in football, Kalac said when asked if Rebic can be a success in his second stint in Serie A. The one thing at Milan that people don t realise, the expectations are so high. It doesn t matter who you play against, they expect you to win. You need to win and supporters expect it. The club is built to win.
Once these players play and train regularly, they work out things together and combinations form. I ve seen many great players come to Milan and not be successful because it s a different expectation. When you re the main man or focal point at a smaller club, it s easier because the team works for you. Whereas at Milan, you need to be part of the parcel in the big cog, but he can be a success.
Rebic will have his first taste of a Milan derby against a high-flying Inter side looking to make it four wins from four Serie A matches under coach Antonio Conte.
Inter are two points clear atop the table following the arrivals of Conte, club-record signing Romelu Lukaku, Diego Godin, Stefano Sensi, Nicolo Barella, Alexis Sanchez and Cristiano Biraghi.
They ve recruited really well, Kalac, who predicted a draw in the first Milan derby of the season, said. It all starts with the recruiting of the head coach – Conte is fantastic. They ve brought in some really good players who will be successful.
But I think it will still take time. They won t have instant success but they will go very close. I think [eight-time reigning champions] Juventus this season, if there s any season to win it off them, it s this term.
