With the new Serie A season finally getting underway this weekend,
Milan kicked off their campaign with a crucial 3-1 win over Lazio at San
Siro.
Goals from Keisuke Honda, Sulley Muntari and a Jeremy Menez penalty were enough to secure all three points, and it was vital for the club as a whole that Pippo Inzaghi got off to a winning start.
While it wasn't an entirely convincing display, the Rossoneri showed the type of spirit and determination that will be required this season.
An attacking trident lacking an out-and-out striker was effective at times, with Stephan El Shaarawy undoubtedly playing a starring role.
As mentioned throughout the summer, this season is the 21-year-old's year to shine. Although new signing Fernando Torres will likely add to the threat Milan possess, it is clear that El Shaarawy is heavily involved in Inzaghi's thinking.
The current 4-3-3 system reflects that and it will be beneficial to both the club and the Italian international, and there were promising early signs that he will flourish in his preferred position on the left flank.
In addition, there were significant performances across the pitch with Diego Lopez, Alex and Nigel De Jong particularly catching the eye.
