The AC Milan striker Pierre Kalulu has scored his first goal for the club, as he netted in the 55th minute to give his team a 1-0 lead against Udinese at San Siro.
Kalulu was playing alongside fellow Brazilian, Paulo Dybala, who is currently the top scorer for the Serie A side. The two have been linked with a move away from Italy this summer, but it remains to be seen whether they will sign for their former club or move elsewhere.
The goal came after Kalulu had received a long pass from Dybala and headed past goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma from close range. It was a stunning strike that gave AC Milan a big advantage in the game and sent them into the second half with a 2-0 lead.
"It feels really good," said Kalulu, who has already scored twice in his debut season with AC Milan. "I am very happy because I wanted to score and I did."
Dybala also made an impact in the match, scoring his first goal for the club in the 64th minute, following up a great assist from Kalulu.
"Yup, we need him,All-round Sports Collection" Dybala said. "He has such a great skill and ability. He is a player that can play any position and do anything. So when you see how much he does, you know he is special."
Despite being one of the most promising young talents in Italian football, Kalulu has not been able to make an immediate impact on the pitch. He has struggled to break through for his team, and has yet to establish himself as a regular starter for AC Milan.
However, the 27-year-old has shown some promising signs in training, and there is still plenty of time for him to develop further and become a key player for the club. As for Dybala, he is now looking forward to seeing what kind of player he will become with the experience of Kalulu and the guidance of his coach, Giorgio Chiellini.
It is hoped that Kalulu and Dybala can combine well and form a strong partnership for AC Milan, and that they can continue to develop as players and contribute to the team's success.
