AC Milan Improve by Degrees in Draw at Torino but Aren't Complete Yet

After being destroyed 4-0 by Napoli last time out, AC Milan were in need of a major improvement coming out of the international break. Their task was a big one: beat a Torino team that was perfect so far at home.

Milan certainly didn't play the perfect match. While they probably should have held on and gotten more than a 1-1 draw, they did enough to make a case that they had moved on from that horrific night against the Partenopei and made the first moves to get better.
There were certainly enough distractions in the two weeks since the team's previous match. After the Napoli game, there were reports in La Repubblica (h/t Football Italia) that Mihajlovic's place on the bench was no longer certain.
Whether or not he's considering firing his new coach, owner Silvio Berlusconi has definitely begun to characteristically stick his nose into his manager's business. On Thursday, La Stampa reported (h/t Football Italia) that Berlusconi was overheard during a political meeting as saying that Mihajlovic, while a good coach on the training field, needed to work on "a bit of tactics."
Dealing with Berlusconi's perpetual belief that he knows more about football than his managers is a fact of life if you're managing Milan, and Mihajlovic responded forcefully in his pre-match press conference, asserting, again through Football Italia, "only I am responsible for the tactics."
