Leao's Half-Space Movement Against Torino

Watching the opening minutes against Torino, the distance between Milan's midfield and attack was compact. Leao wasn't glued to the left touchline. He drifted infield into the half-space between the full-back and centre-back, taking the right-back with him.

That small movement opened the entire left flank for Theo Hernandez. The full-back had space to run into because Torino's shape shifted inward to cover Leao. The first ten minutes showed this clearly.

Watch for how many times Hernandez receives the ball in that outside channel. It's a simple tactical detail: pull a defender inside to create space for the runner beyond.

Give the match ten minutes to see if Torino's wide player tracks back to cover that space.

Question: Does Torino adjust their right-sided midfielder to sit deeper and prevent that diagonal ball to Hernandez?
