It was not the best of nights for Milan at Stamford Bridge last Wednesday as Chelsea ran out 3-0 winners against the Rossoneri will goals from Wesley Fofana, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Reece James, throwing Group E wide open.
The performance that Stefano Pioli’s men put out there was far from the level that they know they can achieve as a number of players underperformed, with Tomori among those targeted with criticism after he lost Aubameyang for the goal that made it 2-0.
However, tomorrow’s game gives the chance for some kind of revenge to be enacted, and Tomori spoke to the microphones of Sky (via MilanNews) a few minutes before the press conference on the eve of the match against Chelsea.
On the match against Juve: “It was a difficult match and after Chelsea we wanted to raise the level of performance. Now we are ready for tomorrow’s match.”
On the game against Chelsea: “Against Chelsea, it was a difficult game: they are strong and we are not happy with how we played. We have another opportunity to make everything right.”
On his return to Stamford Bridge: “Yes of course I was not happy with my performance and that of the team: we are much better. We have another opportunity to do better and we are ready and energised for tomorrow’s game.”
On the potential of Milan: “I think we are strong and every match we are there. We know that we are a strong group and also with the fans at our side. We are in a good moment, I’m happy here and matches like Chelsea and Juve are what we want to play and win.”
