Mike Maignan is injured again, so AC Milan may need to look to a young option to save them. That solution could be Lorenzo Torriani.
There are two choices for Milan currently. Either start with a known quantity in Pietro Terracciano, or give trust to the youth and try Torriani. As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the fans are vocal about the latter. But, would it be right?

Praise and meetings
The article starts rather simply, questioning whether he could be the saviour of the Rossoneri. After all, when called upon, he has regularly impressed, and the fans have already taken to him.
Already, he has received praise from Don Carlo Ancelotti. Last summer, the legend stated that he was ‘impressed’ by the young Milanista, who ‘seemed very good’ to him. Praise that arrives very rarely at that age from someone who has seen it all.
He is a ‘keeper on the rise, this much is known. However, finding the right path is difficult. He could be on loan, playing week in week out, but then he wouldn’t gain the advantage of learning from Maignan and Terracciano. Also, he would not have had the chance to meet Gianlugi Buffon, even if it was a brief encounter.
Torriani’s situation
Despite being 1.97 metres tall, the keeper moves like someone much shorter than him. Paulo Fonseca saw him as a great keeper, with good footwork, and he even tried to bring him to France this summer. However, Milan chose to keep him at the club.
If the Diavolo were to try the young Italian now, they could kill two birds with one stone. After all, if he is ready to start now, there would, perhaps, be less of a need to invest in a new starter next summer. It remains to be seen.
Give him a chance and trust! We are in desperate need of someone with cojones of Siniša Mihajlović.
Right. Like dollarumma in 2015 back then. He could be the next Buffon or Cech.
If it was almost any other manager in Serie A, Donnarumma in 2015 would not have happened.
Respect Miha.
LET HIM PLAY, BETTER THAN GETTING A NEW KEEPER
This boy is great goalkeeper
I hope he starts against Udinese
It is now up to Allegri. Whether he has gut like the late Miha back then.
Allegri for me is typical italian oldschool coach who prefers experience than talent..
I hope he proves me wrong this time
Torriani deserves chance this time..
Kasih Pemain Muda Asli didikan Klub sendiri donk. Jangan beli pemain muda impor dari luar klub terus donk. Kasih kesempatan pemain lokal asli didikan Primavera klub sendirilah.
I hope he gets a chance. I’m sure he’d perform well, probably better than Mike.
Look promising
First thing first, which is get rid of Cordinali and co. With current morons, the young lad won’t stand chance to be Milan keeper cuz her will be sold on.
Allegri will play it safe with Terraciano but maybe some minutes for Torriani in later stages if Milan is winning by margins…
Managers hardly waste subs on GKs.
If it was almost any other manager in Serie A, Donnarumma in 2015 would not have happened.
Respect Miha.
