Alessandro Florenzi was presented with the Fair Play Moment of the Season award prior to kick-off between AC Milan and Salernitana last night. The motivation highlighted a gesture during the game against Milan-Lazio last year.

Whilst warming up for the game, Florenzi was brought over to the stands by Milan’s brand ambassador and former player Daniele Massaro. The veteran was asked by a fan to bring Tijjani Reijnders’ shirt after the game, and he complied.

Milan ended up winning the game 2-0 , thanks to goals by Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor, and Florenzi made sure to grab Reijnders’ shirt on his way to the stands. The fan in question was visibly delighted and Serie A decided to award the veteran with the award last night.

Florenzi also had a very good game yesterday, bagging an assist and showcasing his fantastic delivery on set pieces. Indeed, with the likes of Olivier Giroud and Simon Kjaer leaving, he will be an important leader for the team next season.
