"Strahinja Pavlovic took matters into his own hands though, scoring a beauty from 30 yards to open the scoring before Simeone's leveller."
"Milan's 'variant' in the press were the outside midfielders Fofana and Rabiot. When the ball went to the LCB or RCB, the midfielder would jump to trigger a shift over to crowd out that side of the field."
"The result is that five men get around the ball recipient within seconds, making it (in theory) very hard to play through that particular flank."
Milan faced pressure to recover from a prior defeat against Lazio. Strahinja Pavlovic opened the scoring with a long-range goal. Milan responded with goals from Adrien Rabiot and Youssouf Fofana in the second half. Vlasic scored a late penalty for Torino, but Milan held on for a 3-2 win. Inter's draw against Fiorentina kept Milan six points clear at the top, while Juventus' draw ensured a nine-point gap to fifth place. Tactical adjustments were made, including Rabiot's return and a pressing strategy targeting Torino's build-up play.
