Tomorrow evening, AC Milan have a chance to get themselves back on the right track against Torino, but facing Toro will certainly not be an easy game.
It is as much about the present battle as it is a mental battle for Milan tomorrow. If they are at their best, there should be no questions, but there is a level of mental recovery that has needed to have happened since midweek, and we will not know if it has taken place until tomorrow.
Everyone knows the strength within the Rossoneri, but on too many occasions they have been their own worst enemy – in Europe this has been seen in the past three games, where individual errors have cost the team massively.
Nevertheless, the team must move forward as one, rather than allowing mistakes to break their already disappointing season.
Despite their recent poor fortunes, Paolo Vanoli, the head coach of Toro, spoke to the media about the game, and he was very complimentary of Milan despite their problems, Milan News have his words.
How is the team?
“It was a good week but with some absences: I don’t think I’ll recover Sosa, he had a fever that persists. He’s better, I don’t think he’ll be able to recover. Adams had a strain on his adductor, nothing major but he’ll try today in the finishing touches. Walukiewicz is back with Gineitis, for the rest everything is fine.”
How much quality can Elmas add?
“A lot. I said that we had made good choices on the market, and he is important technically and tactically: it’s not me who says it, but his numbers. When the opportunity arose, it was a privilege.
“Among those who arrived, he needs to recover physically. We need to be smart to make him recover by playing: in terms of leadership, too, we have added a player who knows how to lead his teammates.”
