Torriani lifts lid on derby 'dream', working with Maignan and European night vs. Liverpool
"Lorenzo Torriani has admitted that he dreams of one day being able to start a derby for AC Milan, while reflecting on his growth to now. Torriani's rise through the Milan youth sector has understandably made him dream about the biggest nights. He got a taste of one last season, coming on against Liverpool in the Champions League after Mike Maignan went off with an injury in an eventual 3-1 loss."
"What is it like working with Maignan? "He's a great goalkeeper, but before the goalkeeper comes the person: he's a great professional, he's the first to arrive and the last to leave. He's very focused on his goals, and he's helping me be more consistent in training." Who's your goalkeeping role model? Maignan is easy to say... "I'd say Courtois. He's doing extraordinary things with Real Madrid. He's improved a lot over time.""
Lorenzo Torriani dreams of starting an AC Milan derby after progressing through the club's entire youth sector and experiencing first-team football. He made a Champions League appearance last season against Liverpool when Mike Maignan left injured, conceding in a 3-1 defeat and receiving a consoling hug from Alisson. Torriani has spent additional preseason time with the first team, while Maignan's contract situation opens the possibility of internal promotion to the No.1 role. Torriani attended the Gran Galà 3rd Italo Galbiati Trophy and describes Maignan as a dedicated professional who helps his consistency in training. He cites Thibaut Courtois as a goalkeeping role model.
