Torino vs Milan Player Ratings: Miranchuk and Djidji Inspire Upset (The Cult of Calcio)

Aleksei Miranchuk and Djidji both scored in Torino's 2-1 upset of Milan. The hosts got strong play from their defense, which allowed just one shot target.

Once again, the young Belgian was unable to succeed where Brahim failed and did not add much to Milan’s offense despite getting a full 45 minutes on the pitch. However, his influence waned as the half wore on, and he ended with just 20 touches on the night. As Torino’s backline played compact with two defensive midfielders in front, Diaz was unable to find much time or space on the ball. Leao got off to a poor shot, missing two point-blank chances in the first five minutes. On Torino’s first goal, he lost track of Djidji, allowing the defender a free header to open scoring. However, he played poorly against Torino’s offense in the channel, making a number of questionable defensive plays. He was able to close down the midfielder, but the Russian scored a brilliant goal that split the oncoming centre-backs. After playing well the past few games, it was a disappointing day for the 36-year-old. Against Milan’s aggressive centre-back play, Pellegrini struggled to create offensive chances, and he often had to resort to dropping into the midfield. From his defensive midfield position, Ricci was a key component in Torino’s win. Lukic had a quiet but effective night, playing in a more reserved deep-lying playmaker role. Aside from one error, Torino’s defense was in solid form and allowed the visitors just one shot on target.

TORINO v AC MILAN: MATCH PREVIEW (AC Milan)

After scraping only one point from their last five games (against Inter, Sassuolo, Napoli, Empoli and Juventus), Torino got back to winning ways in the league ...

Abisso has refereed eight games involving AC Milan (six wins, one draw and one defeat), with the last one almost two years ago in [AC Milan's Twitch channel](https://www.twitch.tv/acmilan), with Francesco Specchia, Lollo and other great guests in Live Reaction. [positive trip to Zagreb](https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/videos/highlights/2022-10-25/dinamo-zagreb-v-ac-milan-champions-league-2022-23-the-highlights), the group had a day's rest on Wednesday and went back to work in Carnago on Thursday afternoon, having three full days to prepare for the game. The Rossoneri are in search of their [fifth straight league win](https://www.acmilan.com/en/season/active/schedule/all), before the final Champions League group game midweek. Then, Lazio face Salernitana at 18:00 CET and to end the day, Torino v AC Milan at 20:45 CET. Maignan, Calabria, Florenzi, Saelemaekers are Ibra will all definitely be missing though, with only one doubt: [Theo Hernández](https://www.acmilan.com/en/teams/men-first-team/players/theo-hernandez/statistics). (* = played one game more) On the eve of the game, the Head Coach said: "AC Milan are in good shape, they've been playing together for a while now: they are strong and have many options, they can score in many different ways. At the end of the game, there will be post-match reaction, interviews and Coach Pioli's press conference. Regarding the squad, Coach Pioli is likely to bring back into contention those players absent from the trip to Croatia: Adli, Bakayoko, Vranckx and Thiaw, as well as [Tomori](https://www.acmilan.com/en/teams/men-first-team/players/fikayo-tomori/statistics), who was suspended. Just as AC Milan, the Granata also have only one question mark, the Pole, Linetty. We'll need to show our quality and character because they will pressure us, but we know how to handle these situations, so I'm expecting a strong performance."
