"The victory against Pisa was hard-fought, certainly not the result of a stellar performance, and the coach was critical of it in his press conference. It's a match that will fuel the usual "playing like this, where do you want to go?" refrain, it must be said, that we've been hearing since August. And Milan are still there today. Luka Modric's goal is poetry, for the man who scored it, for how he scored it, for the significance it could have."
"It was like Sandro Tonali's goal in Rome against Lazio in the Scudetto year. Both players literally went for the goal, displaying incredible character. The Croatian's goal probably won't ultimately have the same significance as the one scored a few years ago at the Olimpico, but Milan has a duty to try. In this sense, Wednesday's match against Fabregas' Como will be extraordinarily important in putting further pressure on Inter."
Milan have repeatedly scored late goals this season, with Luka Modric delivering a decisive winner against Pisa to keep the Scudetto gap at eight points and a game in hand. The Pisa victory provided Milan's first win over a promoted team this season and preserved their league position. The performance was not dominant and drew criticism from the coach, but the late strike showed character. Modric's goal was compared to Sandro Tonali's title-era winner against Lazio for its urgency and personality. A forthcoming match against Como presents an opportunity to increase pressure on Inter and influence the title race.
