Since the 5-1 loss against Inter, AC Milan have only conceded 1 goal in 6 matches (between Serie A and Champions League). The Rossoneri found a strong form and motivation after that derby defeat and the defence has improved since then.
In mythology, the phoenix is a bird that dies by burning itself and is reborn shortly after from its ashes. And from its own ashes, as Tuttosport suggests today, the defence of Milan has also been reborn.
After the five goals conceded in the derby, the department has come together and has put together a series of solid performances one after the other, whether in the league or in the Champions League. Better than Real, Tottenham, Leverkusen and Monaco. Two significant data of how much the Rossoneri defense is doing, which, however, has been the most affected department by injuries.
The defense has already had to often play without some important men. After the break, Kalulu (who will try to recover in these days), Tomori for suspension against Inter, Kjaer, Theo and Calabria have been missing for minor injuries that were fortunately quickly recovered. Almost the entire department has been out at least once, for one reason or another. But the Milan team always came out very well. This is also thanks to a Fikayo Tomori who has returned in 2021-2022 format, a true protagonist of this season's start with performances always well above average.
The English centre-back has even taken the pleasure of scoring a goal, almost as a reward for a great start. The only flaw is that red card that forced him to miss the game against Inter: even if right after that red, Tomori has not made any more mistakes. Even the Englishman seems to have been reborn from the ashes, as relayed by Milan News.
