It's another disappointing result for AC Milan. After a goalless draw against Bologna at the San Siro, the Rossoneri have dropped points against Torino in Turin with 0-0 again.
Stefano Pioli's side took the field with the following lineup:
4-2-3-1: Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernández; Tonali, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Díaz, Leão; Giroud.
As for Ivan Juric's side, this is how they were deployed on the pitch from the first minute:
3-4-2-1: Berisha; Zima, Bremer, Rodríguez; Singo, Ricci, Lukić, Vojvoda; Brekalo, Pobega; Belotti.
The match was very difficult, as predicted. The physical aspect of the game was very exhausting and demanding. The Rossoneri side of Stefano Pioli, as usual, struggled to penetrate a 3-man defence. Olivier Giroud and the rest of his teammates in the attacking phase struggled a lot against the organised defensive department of Torino and also against Gleison Bremer, who once again showed his class and proved why he is among the best defenders in Serie A this season.
AC Milan's lack of concentration and precision continues...
The Rossoneri had some chances, like the opportunity of Davide Calabria whose shot was denied by the goalkeeper. It is clear that Milan's problems in attack, there is no creativity in midfield and many set-pieces and passes were not correct.
The positive note continues to be the defensive solidity, but now we need the attack to be sharp once again. It is true that Ante Rebic and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were missing today due to physical problems. But, that should not be an excuse for Milan who simply have to know how to score goals in different situations by using teamwork instead of relying on individual qualities of certain players.
