"Tomori shared his thoughts on how Milan can build on the derby win, rather than letting it hinder them. He also spoke about the defence, which has been a key ingredient for the Rossoneri this season. What kind of week has it been since the derby? "Heads down and hard work. Yes, it was a good match for us, but it was just a match. We still have to play more to improve and finish the season where we want.""
""Yes, of course, not just us defenders but the whole team. We're not conceding goals, we have strong forwards who can make the difference in front of goal, and we want to keep that up tonight." Tomori is starting alongside his usual partners Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in defence, with Mike Maignan guarding the net. All four of them have been in very good form lately and Lazio might struggle to break them down."
Milan aims to build on the derby win by keeping heads down and focusing on hard work rather than complacency. The derby victory boosted mood and Scudetto chances but must not hinder preparation for the next challenge against Lazio. Defensive solidity has been a key ingredient for the season, with a backline of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic and goalkeeper Mike Maignan forming a strong unit. The whole team contributes to defensive effort, with forwards providing goals when needed. Consistency in duels, discipline and maintaining clean sheets are priorities to sustain positive form in big clashes. Lazio have started the season well, so continued focus and execution are required to preserve momentum.
