Today, AC Milan's head coach, Ruben Amorim, commented on the criticism he received recently.
Here's what he had to say during the press conference:
"Criticism is normal. That I have received more than at my previous club is impossible (smiles). I remember what I told you: I told you that I put Milan first, and that remains my intention. I was asked to be proactive on the pitch and we want to do that. But we also have to take the opponents into account. Luciano Spalletti is very good. But that doesn’t change our intention, which you will always see: we will never do anything randomly."
Amorim added:
"In fact, we may even be too rigid. I understand that it is difficult for you to see a young coach coming from outside who sees how the game should be played. Our intention is to dominate, but there are so many good coaches like Spalletti and Fabregas who will put us to the test. It takes time. I know there was someone who couldn’t wait for us to drop points so they could ask me that question. If we had won, many would have kept their criticism and questions in their pockets for another week. Spalletti was better than me, but the intention is not lacking. Sometimes it won’t be possible, and I won’t always be able to give you the spectacle you want. After Juventus, I opened my eyes and know what to expect. I told my players to be perfect and win. People can’t wait for us to stumble. I hope they hear me now. They are having lunch and listening to me: I told them in the first training session of this week that we need to be perfect, and I’m happy that they are still listening to these words."
