AC Milan's win against Torino on Friday was pivotal, despite an unimpressive display. But when you're in the trenches and fighting, a win is a win, no matter how hard-fought. It boosts morale and instills hope that things will get better, writes Milan News.
Olivier Giroud's goal epitomized that spirit: a burst of anger and a desire to overcome a bleak environment where results have plunged Milanello into darkness, even undermining its technical foundations. Tomorrow's game against Tottenham in the Champions League at the San Siro will surely be a stern test, particularly mentally, as the Premier League clubs prove to be a class above when playing against the Rossoneri.
A solid performance would build on Friday's success. AC Milan may well be more cautious to prevent conceding, but the availability of Ismael Bennacer will be key. If he's fit, a 3-5-2 with him, Sandro Tonali, and Rade Krunic is on the cards; otherwise, keep an eye on Alexis Saelemaekers as a mezzala to add some extra grit to the midfield.
