Amorim Vows Adaptation After Milan's Europa League Stumble

AC Milan head coach Ruben Amorim expressed his willingness to adapt tactics after his team's 2-0 Europa League defeat to Benfica. This loss, compounded by recent draws in Serie A, means Milan is now three games without a win. Amorim, who joined the club in June, is facing scrutiny over his tactical approach, particularly his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, which was also a point of discussion during his previous coaching role.

Amorim stated his commitment to finding solutions and adapting to ensure victories, even if it means deviating from a strict tactical framework. He noted that the team is creating more problems for itself with possession than when defending, lacking creativity near the opponent's box. The first half of the match against Benfica saw a complete loss of control, with the team acting too hastily and without quality, leading to dangerous situations.

The team has now conceded two goals in consecutive matches, a concerning trend. While they managed a comeback against Lazio, goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin's saves prevented Milan from scoring against Benfica. Amorim mused whether it was a mental issue causing the first-half lapses and emphasized the need to score first to dictate the game's tempo, as Milan has not been prolific in creating chances.
