The Full-Back Question in Torino vs Milan
Torino against Milan on Sunday evening. The first ten minutes will tell us a lot about how Amorim's Milan handles a compact defence.
Look at the position of Theo Hernandez. If he pushes high and stays there, Torino will leave a runner on that side. Raoul Bellanova has the pace to exploit that space behind the full-back. Milan's midfield cover will be tested early.
The other detail is the distance between Milan's midfield and attack. If Rafael Leao and Alvaro Morata are isolated, Torino's three centre-backs will have an easy afternoon. They'll just compress the space and wait for the long pass.
Watch the first ten minutes to see if Milan can get their full-backs involved without leaving the counter-attack open. That's the balance they need to find.
Question: Where do you expect Bellanova to attack most? Inside or outside the full-back?
