AC Milan left it late but managed to claim all three points against Lazio last weekend, courtesy of a late goal from Sandro Tonali. As explained by Stefano Pioli, the goals scored in that game are good examples of the Rossoneri.
The first goal was scored by Olivier Giroud, who threw himself to reach the ball before the defender. He was set up by Rafael Leao who, as we see so many times, beat his man with pace and skill before finding the Frenchman.
The second goal, as mentioned, was scored by Sandro Tonali and it came after Ante Rebic applied pressure to the Lazio backline, winning the ball back. Zlatan Ibrahimovic then forced another mistake from the defence and passed it to Tonali, there with a crucial toe.
During today’s presser, which you can read in full here, Pioli explained why these two goals are near-perfect examples of Milan. He stated that they must build from these goals in this crucial season finale.
“We have to start again from the two goals scored. Looking at those two goals scored, there are a lot of our characteristics, from Leao’s run to Giroud throwing himself, to the pressure of Rebic and Zlatan, to the toe of Tonali at the last second,” he stated.
