"We lacked pressure on the ball. From that perspective, despite the pressure we applied well in the first half, we dropped back, and that's something we shouldn't do. We need to work hard, step it up. We need to roll up our sleeves and work hard, but the performance was good."
"I repeat: I'm convinced I liked the team. Simeone and Ismajli will be back, giving us solidity. We have some absences. Duvan has found the back of the net. There are some positives. I'm used to looking at those and being very severe about what doesn't work."
"After Tameze came off, Milan quickly got back into the game, the ball didn't go out. These are situations that penalise you, but they always happen in these cases. We need to be more careful. But I repeat: I have great faith in the team, and we need to focus on the positives."
Torino opened strongly as Nikola Vlasic converted a penalty after a Fikayo Tomori handball, and Duvan Zapata doubled the lead inside the opening half hour. Adrien Rabiot's long-range strike quickly halved the deficit, and Christian Pulisic scored a second-half brace to complete AC Milan's comeback and move them back to the top. Torino applied good pressure early but then dropped back, losing control and allowing Milan to regain momentum. Tameze's injury created a temporary numerical disadvantage. Squad absences were noted, with Simeone and Ismajli expected to return and add defensive solidity. Increased pressure, resilience, and hard work were highlighted as necessary improvements.
