AC Milan faces pressure to improve their defense as they prepare for a crucial match against Empoli.
Milan’s defense has been under scrutiny, especially since they have allowed more goals than Empoli. They have conceded 14 goals in 12 matches, while Empoli has given up 11 in 13 games. This statistic highlights the urgency for Milan to tighten their defense.
Reijnders noted that Empoli plays a man-to-man style, which requires Milan to be dynamic and adaptable. He stressed the importance of moving the ball well and being effective in their play. This match is crucial for Milan to regain their confidence.
In their last Champions League match, Milan won 3-2 against Slovan Bratislava but allowed two easy goals due to poor defending. Reijnders, who plays a key role in protecting the defense, stated that everyone on the team must take responsibility for the goals conceded.
He added that the current situation is not acceptable for a club like Milan. The team needs to show improvement and commitment in their performance. So far this season, Milan has managed to keep only five clean sheets in 18 competitive matches, with none in the Champions League.
As they prepare for the match against Empoli, the pressure is on Milan to demonstrate that they can defend better and secure a much-needed victory.
