Regarding the composition of the squad, the coach explained that tomorrow's lineup will be made up of players who have already had moments of ownership or who have played on the pitch in the last few games. He announced a slight rotation, with some players “in doubt” who will be assessed in the morning. The goal is to keep the players focused and prepared, while the coach manages expectations and pressure.
Amorim also spoke about the young midfielder Camarda, who earned his place thanks to summer work. He highlighted the club's desire to give space to young people, stating that their presence on the pitch can bring surprises. The coach also mentioned the figure of Cardinale, underlining that the discussions with the management concerned only the future and summer preparation, without any personal problems.
Finally, the coach compared the role of the players with Mozart's music, stating that the synergy between individual talent and teamwork is fundamental. He asked the players to give everything for the team, focusing on defenders capable of thinking like a "number 10" and being daring with the ball. In conclusion, Amorim reiterated that he has a clear plan for Milan, ready to exploit every opportunity and continue to build a competitive squad for the European season.
