As highlighted by Il Corriere della Sera, the AC Milan squad has finally recovered from the negative period. Head coach Stefano Pioli has found his leaders again, and with the surprising addition of German defender Malick Thiaw who is at the tender age of 21. The defence has returned to its form from a year ago. Playing like this, Theo Hernandez has become a tactical weapon once again: with more defensive support behind him, he can perform at his best, meaning sprinting and shooting. This was clearly evident on Sunday, where his position caused Atalanta to falter.
The next nine days will be a crossroads of the season: on Sunday, there is the delicate away game in Florence, where two key players like Rafael Leao and Rade Krunic will be missing.
Then on the 8th, the return leg of the round of 16 against Conte's Tottenham in the Champions League will be played in London. All that is needed is to not play for a draw and to try to confirm the previous win.
