On his YouTube channel, Sportitalia journalist Alfredo Pedulla commented on the Torino-Milan match, won by the Rossoneri after a thrilling comeback from 2-0 to 2-3, thanks to goals from Rabiot and Pulisic. He also analyzed the performance of some individual players, including Nkunku. Here is a detailed summary of his words:
"Nkunku started very poorly, but improved slightly as the game went on. The main question remains the absence of a central striker, which is hard to accept for a team like Milan with big ambitions, though the debate can rise because when you have Pulisic and Leao, you have to change the system and sacrifice a midfielder to play with a striker. I believe Milan will need to act in January regardless of Gimenez."
Pedullà added:
"The second half saw Milan’s attack, two great saves by Israel, and Milan taking control of Torino’s half. Torino has this weakness of dropping back naturally, and if you drop back against Milan, sooner or later you concede. Israel’s double save lets you forget the worries for a few minutes. Then Allegri makes the move needed to shake things up. He replaces Bartesaghi in the 66th minute and places Saelemaekers on the left, relying on Pulisic’s remaining physical condition. The best part is that on his first touch, Pulisic scores, while Bartesaghi is still leaving the field. That was a huge adrenaline boost for Milan, who this time relied on Pulisic as they usually rely on Leao," as relayed via Milan News.
