Today's print edition of the Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport shared the following headline regarding Amorim's spell at AC Milan so far since his arrival last summer:
"Amorim’s first 100 days. This is how he has changed Milan"
In fact, the newspaper explains that 100 days have passed since 13 July, the day of the gathering at Milanello when the ex Portuguese tactician's adventure on the Rossoneri bench effectively officially began.
Milan is still a work in progress and there is still a lot to do, such as integrating Gonçalo Ramos better into Milan’s style of play and eliminating the blackouts, but the path taken finally seems to be the right one. The ex Manchester United head coach has abandoned the dogma of the 3-4-2-1 formation and is now adapting to the squad and the players at his disposal.
What did Amorim say about his AC Milan team's performance in the 3-2 win against Atalanta?
“We played well for 66 minutes, but I want a team that, even when it concedes a goal, continues to play in the same way. That does not change its attitude; and we are not yet that kind of team, it will take time."
"A great team is not one in which everyone plays well only when things go the right way, but then, when something happens, despite not playing badly, struggles enormously both with the ball and without it. I do not want to say that this is my team. I want a team capable of managing both positive moments and difficult moments, and we are really struggling a lot in difficult moments."
