“You’ll see that from the next match there will be changes. Milan will return to being in control of the game.”
Sinisa Mihajlovic is open to the 4-4-2 system against Torino and welcomes “constructive confrontation” with Milan.

The director spoke to MilanNews.it as he arrived for this evening’s friendly against Monza at the Stadio Brianteo.

“We hope to be talking again soon.”
