AC Milan's defence has been doing really well in the last games and especially in the second half of the season in Serie A. Despite the absence of Simon Kjaer, Pierre Kalulu stepped up to the occasion each time and showed himself as a great asset to Stefano Pioli.
The defence is now mainly made up of Fikayo Tomori and Pierre Kalulu in the central area with the French jewel being a versatile wild card as he can also play well as a full-back. In fact, he delivered an accurate cross to Rafael Leao who opened the score against Genoa.
Stefano Pioli is not surprised about the performance of his defenders. He said this much in a press conference today:
"Not conceding a goal is important. It surprises me a little because we are a team that has an offensive game that sometimes risks a little. We have to continue with this attitude, especially tomorrow night: we will need great concentration and attention."
