Photo: Average position of each Milan player in important win vs. Udinese

AC Milan started the season with a win last night as four goals were enough to beat Udinese at San Siro. There are still some things to work on but the Rossoneri’s identity is clear.

Over the last few years, Milan have struggled against Udinese and yesterday was no exception, seeing as they did concede twice. On the other hand, they were simply too strong in attack to lose this game.
