Quotes
“I didn’t expect us to be perfect now, but I have to say that in the first 45 minutes we were passive, without intensity," Milan manager Paulo Fonseca said after the draw against Torino.
"Then we were more aggressive up front, having enough opportunities to win the match. We have to keep working, there is a lot to improve.”
"The team must improve defensively, it’s a bit passive while I want it to be more aggressive in recovering the ball. We left time and space for Torino to play the first phase calmly.”
Head-to-Head
Milan claimed a 3-1 win over Parma in their last league meeting on 10 April 2021 at Stadio Ennio Tardini.
As a result, Rossoneri are undefeated in their last eight matches in Serie A against the Crusaders having registered two draws and six wins.
