Amorim’s new Milan side could already deliver surprises and major confirmations this season. The story of Samuel Chukwueze at Milan could be one of them.
Arriving in the summer of 2023 with high expectations after several standout seasons at Villarreal, the Nigerian winger has never fully managed to showcase his potential in the Rossoneri shirt. Too many ups and downs, a lack of consistency, and increasing competition in recent months seemed to have pushed him towards the exit door.
Today, an extra resource:
Chukwueze is no longer viewed solely as an attacking winger focused on one-on-one situations, but rather as a potential key piece in the Portuguese coach’s system. This tactical evolution could represent the turning point in his Milan career.
The idea is to transform him into a modern wide midfielder, capable of combining acceleration, technical quality, and the ability to make an impact in the final third. It is a role that requires more sacrifice and different tactical awareness compared to the past, but one that could highlight some of his best qualities: pace, dribbling, and the ability to create numerical superiority.
Amorim has already shown throughout his career that he knows how to develop attacking players by adapting them to more complete roles, asking them to contribute more both in the build-up phase and defensively.
