Milan coach Ruben Amorim spoke to DAZN before the match against Udinese, explaining the tactical choices and management of the squad.
Amorim reiterated the importance of "managing players" in a busy schedule, stressing that fitness is a key factor. “We can't give our all to every player in every match,” he said, highlighting the need to balance energy and avoid injuries.
For the match against Udinese, the coach chose a group of "more physical" players to cope with the opponent's 5-man attack. “I tried to put the best possible eleven for the start of the match, not to finish it,” he added, indicating that the formation could change during the match as needed.
Amorim also spoke about an episode with the goalkeeper M.Maignan, defining the footballer as "a man" who understood that he shouldn't have done what he had done. He specified that he had spoken with all the players, not just Maignan, to set up a competitive strategy.
Finally, the coach confirmed R.Ramos' availability, stating that "if he wasn't ready to play, he wouldn't be here." With these decisions, Amorim aims to keep Milan competitive in a season with a pressing calendar, seeking to optimize the team's performance on and off the pitch.
