With Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw playing together, AC Milan have conceded just two goals this season. The two centre-backs have done really well together and are, as a report highlights, the foundation of the team.
Milan have played nine games in all competitions so far this season, claiming 18/21 points in the league and drawing their first two games in the Champions League. In the process, they have conceded eight goals.
However, five of them came in the derby (when Tomori was suspended) and another came against Roma, after Tomori’s red card. As highlighted by Calciomercato.com, Milan have just conceded two goals with Tomori and Thiaw playing together.
The Rossoneri have also kept consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League, despite playing Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund who usually boast high-scoring averages. The PSG test, in that sense, will be very interesting.
The centre-backs complement each other really well. Tomori covers a lot of ground with his pace and Thiaw is strong in the duels thanks to his size. However, while both have specific strengths, it must be said that they are good at most things.
The two are without a doubt the foundation of Milan, as the report states, and this can go a long way if the attack gets underway properly. Stefano Pioli also has Pierre Kalulu and Marco Pellegrino to rely on in the future, and we all know that depth is essential.
When Kalulu is fit again, play him at RB
Agreed. Calabria has been true to the club but his level just isn’t what is needed for us to get to the next level and as much as Kalulu isn’t either, his potential is certainly there and moreso than Calabria
Very good to see Tomori back on track, and Thiaw is turning into a gem of a player.
Malick should increase his muscle mass. He would be beast in our defense.
Kita juga punya Gabbia yang bermain dengan baik di Villarreal dengan pinjaman. Kalulu lebih baik di RB karena terlihat lemah
If Leao was half active like Tomori, our attack will be much fluid.
The harm Leao imposes on the team due to his laziness, is second to none.
Hardly does he mark, and whenever he loses the ball(which has happened countless times this season) he will rather stay on the floor or walk back majestically.
Many will overlook this because, he cover his mess with an assist or a goal. With this attitude of his, he won’t become a world class player.
