Allegri after Milan 3-2 Torino: ‘Fullkrug needs consistency, Pavlovic has improved a lot’
AC Milan kept their Serie A title hopes alive with a narrow 3-2 victory over Torino, prompting manager Massimiliano Allegri to praise the development of goalscorer Strahinja Pavlovic and the resilience of his squad. Massimiliano Allegri hailed AC Milan’s character following a vital 3-2 win against Torino at the San Siro. Despite recent setbacks against Parma and Lazio, the Rossoneri secured three points to maintain pressure on league leaders Inter. Allegri singled out defender Strahinja Pavlovic for his significant growth and spectacular long-range goal, stating, “He played a great match tonight, he has improved a lot.” The manager also defended striker Niklas Fullkrug’s performance, noting that a lack of consistent minutes has affected the German’s physical rhythm. Tactically, Allegri credited Christian Pulisic’s introduction for breaking down Torino’s compact defense. Reflecting on his animated touchline behavior, Allegri joked about his exchange with the referee: “I am getting on in years and I would not want my heart to give out.” -
Can AC Milan’s pragmatic path under Max Allegri lead to Serie A contention?
After a pivotal victory over league leaders Inter, Massimiliano Allegri’s AC Milan have moved within seven points of the summit, boasting the division’s best defensive record as they enter the season’s final stretch.
AC Milan have reignited the Serie A title race following a historic Derby della Madonnina victory, completing a rare league double over Inter.
Under Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri have transformed into Italy’s most disciplined defensive unit, conceding only 20 goals thus far.
Pervis Estupinan’s winner silenced critics of Allegri’s pragmatic 3-5-2 system, which has revitalized the careers of Fikayo Tomori and Alexis Saelemaekers.
Despite the defensive solidity, concerns persist regarding Milan’s offensive output compared to Inter’s superior scoring rate.
The team averages just 1.6 goals per match, hampered by injury struggles for stars Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.
With loan signing Niclas Fullkrug sidelined and Christopher Nkunku struggling for consistency, Allegri has frequently been forced to field makeshift strike partnerships, including utilizing Ruben Loftus-Cheek in advanced roles.
The Rossoneri must now navigate a demanding schedule while addressing a lack of depth in central midfield.
While 40-year-old Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot have been instrumental, the heavy reliance on veteran legs poses a sustainability risk.
If Milan is to overhaul Inter’s lead, they must improve their efficiency against low-block teams, having previously dropped points against relegation-threatened sides like Pisa and Fiorentina.

Noni Madueke hails Forest’s Ola Aina as toughest Premier League opponent
Arsenal winger Noni Madueke has lauded Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as his most difficult full-back opponent, citing the Nigerian international’s exceptional speed, strength, and technical ability on the ball.

Speaking to TNT Sports, the winger praised Aina’s physical and technical attributes following their recent top-flight encounters.
Madueke stated: “I’m going to give Ola Aina his flowers. I’ve played against him a few times; he’s quick, he’s good on the ball, he’s always tough, mad strong too.”
Aina, who joined Forest on a free transfer from Torino in 2023, has become a vital component of the club’s defensive unit.
Despite Forest’s ongoing struggle against relegation, the Nigerian’s performances have caught the eye of the league’s elite.
Madueke’s high praise underscores Aina’s quality, highlighting him as a player Forest may struggle to retain should they fail to maintain their Premier League status.

Ebenezer Akinsanmiro revealed the teammate who helped him most after AFCON 2025 call up
Ebenezer Akinsanmiro has praised the family-like atmosphere in the Super Eagles camp and clarified that his preferred role is as an attacking midfielder ahead of Nigeria’s knockout stage matches.
Inter Milan loanee Ebenezer Akinsanmiro has expressed his delight at the seamless transition into the Super Eagles squad during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The 21-year-old Pisa midfielder, a surprise call-up by coach Éric Chelle, described the national team environment as a cohesive unit.
While currently serving as an understudy to veteran midfielders like Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi, the youngster is tipped for a larger role as the tournament progresses into the knockouts.
Addressing his integration, Akinsanmiro highlighted the warm reception from the squad and a past encounter with superstar Victor Osimhen during their time in Italy.
The midfielder recalled how the former African Footballer of the Year offered guidance before they became international teammates.
On the pitch, Akinsanmiro also addressed tactical debates regarding his role, firmly stating his preference for a more advanced position in the middle of the park despite his versatility.
“I’m close to everybody. We are like a family, so I’m close to everyone,” Akinsanmiro said, reflecting on the team spirit.
Regarding his previous interaction with Osimhen, he noted: “He came to me and spoke some words of encouragement to me.”
When asked about his specific tactical deployment on the field, the midfielder clarified his preference: “I play midfield anywhere, but I like to play attacking midfield.”
1. Match Summary
Torino secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Pisa in a tightly contested match. The game was decided by a late goal from C. Adams in the 80th minute, assisted by M. Pedersen. While Pisa showed moments of promise, Torino ultimately proved more clinical and controlled the game, particularly in the final third. The match was relatively even in terms of possession, but Torino created significantly more dangerous chances.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Pisa: Pisa struggled to convert possession into meaningful attacking opportunities. Their expected goals (xG) of 0.27 highlights this, indicating they rarely threatened Torino's goal. They completed a respectable 78% of their passes, but lacked the cutting edge in the final third. The team committed 12 fouls, indicating a degree of frustration and difficulty in winning the ball cleanly. Their single shot on target underscores their attacking inefficiency.
Torino: Torino demonstrated a more potent attacking threat, evidenced by their higher number of total shots (13) and shots on goal (2). Their xG of 1.84 suggests they should have potentially won by a larger margin. They were slightly more accurate in their passing (80% completion rate) and controlled the game effectively. The team's defensive solidity was also apparent, limiting Pisa to minimal clear-cut chances. The late goal was a reward for their sustained pressure and tactical approach.
