Giuseppe Pancaro, former Milan defender, expressed his impressions on the new captain of the Rossoneri team, Ruben Amorim, in an interview with TuttoMercatoWeb.com. The analysis comes a few hours after the match between Milan and Bologna, where Amorim's team still showed uncertainty about their style of play. Pancaro underlined that, despite the quality of the staff, the club has not yet defined a real tactical identity after four months of work.
In the first paragraph of the interview, Pancaro praised the strength of Milan's squad, stating that the team is capable of competing for top places in Serie A and a place in the Champions League. However, he highlighted the lack of a clear playing identity, describing Milan as a team still looking for their own way of holding the pitch and playing. “After four months of work we still don't see a Milan with a precise identity,” he said, indicating that the team has not yet found a defined tactical structure.
Regarding the competition, Pancaro commented on Inter's situation, defining them as the strongest and favorite team for the Scudetto. However, he underlined the need to find a remedy for the goals conceded, which could become a long-term problem. He also mentioned Roma as a dangerous team, capable of fighting for the title if they stay hooked until the end. Pancaro expressed hope that Lazio can repeat the fairy tale of Ranieri's Leicester, but underlined the importance of a more solid approach in defence.
Pancaro's interview offers a balanced vision of Amorim's Milan, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement. The team has demonstrated that it has a quality staff, but has yet to define a clear tactical identity to compete effectively in Serie A and the Champions League. With the calendar approaching, Milan will have to find a way to consolidate their playing structure and face the challenges of the season.
