AC Milan secured an important 2-1 victory against Napoli at San Siro, with defender Fikayo Tomori delivering a standout performance. After the match, Tomori shared that the win was a result of the team’s collective effort and their commitment to coach Max Allegri’s tactical plan.
The key takeaway from the match is Milan’s improved defensive discipline. Tomori’s comments highlight a shift in mentality, focusing on the entire team defending as one unit. This shared responsibility has boosted their confidence and is now producing positive results on the pitch.
🤝 A Team United in Defence
🗣️ Fikayo Tomori explained that coach Max Allegri’s instructions were clear: the whole team needed to defend together. “The coach asked us to defend as a single team, not just the defenders… but all of us together,” he said. This approach of moving as a single unit has given the team a lot of confidence. Tomori added that with their quality attackers, they know they can always score as long as they prevent the other team from doing so.
📈 From Disorganised to Solid
📈 Looking back at the team’s progress this season, Tomori recalled how they were “too long and disorganised” in an earlier match against Cremonese. In contrast, he said, “Today, however, we were compact and solid.” He mentioned that while the season didn’t begin as they had hoped, coach Allegri helped the team stay calm and positive, reminding them that it was only the beginning and there was still a long way to go.
💪 Strong Spirit Earns a Deserved Win
💪 Tomori also praised the team’s fighting spirit, especially after they were a player down. He stated that even with fewer players on the field, they “put in a great performance.” He concluded by saying the team fully deserved the three points, highlighting the strong bond and determination within the squad.
