At the beginning of last season in Serie A, bookmakers got their quotas out, and the result was obvious – Inter were favorites to become champions again, along with Juventus, who appointed their coach old Massimiliano Allegri and wanted an instant success. But somehow (mainly due to Inter’s mistakes), AC Milan took the title and surprised everybody. And now, at the beginning of this season, the position is the same: Inter are favorites, Juve are second and the champions Milan are third. If we look at the transfer dealings, Inter got stronger, Juventus even more, so it’s no surprise that the bookmakers reacted like that.🗣️ Fikayo #Tomori to #Gazzetta: Who is your favorite former player? “Well, Paolo Also because he watches us closely.” pic.twitter.com/sPO0eoiP80— Milan Posts 🏆🇮🇹 (@MilanPosts) July 27, 2022 But Fikayo Tomori is not worried. Nobody predicted that he will be a success in Milan when he left Chelsea and he made it, and it’s a similar situation with his current club and Scudeto. Tomori now has the experience and knowledge and is eager to repeat the success, against all bookmakers who think that Inter and Juve are favorites. “Well, they said that last year, too, and instead…. We have confidence, we’re focused on ourselves, we know we’re strong. We still have a lot to prove but we won last year. Why not? We have the feeling that we can do something special. We have done it before, but now we have a different pressure. We have to repeat ourselves. We’re happy, but we’re starting with 0 points like the others, not 86. We’ll have to fight harder. We’re the champions, everyone will want to beat us” said the Englishman to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Rossoneri give Brugges an ultimatum over De KetelaereTomori was actually one of the first Milan players who said that they are gonna win the title and he was true. And he is not afraid to make that claim again for the next season, with Zlatan Ibrahomovic’s words in mind.“Yes, I knew this team was strong and we could win. I’m glad we did. But it was certain only when Franck Kessie scored the third goal at Sassuolo on the last day. Ibra has a great character, his voice was with us even when he was not playing. He would tell us, ‘We have to be hungry like dogs, we’re first but we haven’t done anything” recalls Tomori. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6532286##In the upcoming season, Tomori will have to fight (again) against two great strikers: Romelu Lukaku from Inter and Dušan Vlahović from Juventus. He respects them both, but is not afraid to take the challenge. “My first game at Milan was against Romelu and that day I had respect for him, not fear. It will be the same this time. Marking both of them one-on-one is difficult, they are strong and fast, they have quality. The most important thing with both of them is to stay focused, be attentive to every movement, when they kick, when they attack the depth… In Italy then you work differently than in England. Here you defend as a team, you move together. In England much less” said the former Chelsea defender.
