Tomori Reborn: Allegri’s Tactical Switch Sparks Milan Defender’s Revival
Fikayo Tomori is enjoying a resurgence at AC Milan, rediscovering his best form thanks to a new role under Massimiliano Allegri. Now in his fifth season with the Rossoneri, the English defender has experienced a campaign of ups and downs, but recent weeks have highlighted his renewed importance.
Deployed as the right-sided centre-back, Tomori has thrived in Allegri’s system, forming a formidable defensive trio alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic. Before recent draws against Pisa and Sassuolo, Milan boasted one of the tightest defences in the league, with Tomori’s near-flawless displays playing a key role.
Beyond his defensive solidity, Tomori has also contributed going forward. He has already registered two assists this season, both for Rafael Leão: one in the Coppa Italia against Bari and another decisive pass in the 1-0 Serie A victory over Lazio. Aside from isolated moments of misfortune, such as conceding a penalty against Torino, Tomori’s transformation under Allegri signals a defender reborn and central to Milan’s ambitions.
