Amorim emphasizes flexibility at AC Milan after 3-0 win
According to Soccernews.
Background
Ruben Amorim, who is now at the helm of AC Milan, has led his team to an impressive start in Serie A. His approach, which offers players more freedom in possession, appears to be hitting home, underlining the match impact of their recent victory over Lecce. This marks an important period for the club, which has not started so strongly since 2022/23.
Why this matters
AC Milan's 3-0 win over Lecce is crucial to their season as they are now unbeaten in their first five matches in Serie A. This strong start strengthens the Rossoneri's position in the competition and highlights Ruben Amorim's effectiveness as coach. With this victory they rise to fifth place, which has a positive impact on their season outlook.
Key points
- Amorim emphasizes flexibility at AC Milan after 3-0 win.
- AC Milan beat Lecce 3-0 and remain undefeated in Serie A.
- Amorim vows not to repeat Man Utd errors with Milan.
AC Milan has reinforced its strong start to the season in Serie A with a convincing 3-0 home win over Lecce. The Rossoneri thus climb to fifth place and are still undefeated after five competition matches. An early lead made the difference in San Siro, after which Milan finally took control of the match in the second half.
The series under Ruben Amorim is striking. It is the first time since 2022/23 that Milan remains unbeaten in the first five league matches (three wins, two draws). Amorim is also only the third foreign coach in club history to get through his first five Serie A matches without defeat, after Luis Carniglia (1963/64) and Nils Liedholm (1963/64). The home front is also running: Milan won its first two Serie A home games of this season without conceding a goal, something they last achieved in 2020/21.
The dominance against Lecce was supported by the numbers. Milan recorded an expected goals value (xG) of 1.93 from ten attempts on goal and limited the visitors to 0.17 xG from six shots. The game plan was correct, with compact defense when losing the ball and sufficient depth in the attack as soon as space became available. In the second half, Milan pressed on and the team remained in control, both in transition and in the positional phase.
Afterwards, Amorim especially emphasized the tactical flexibility of his team. The Portuguese trainer consciously gave his players more 'freedom' in possession of the ball and wants to create multiple routes to goal. According to him, variation is crucial in Serie A, where trainers quickly understand each other's plans and often dare to defend one-on-one. By switching between different build-up and formation structures – for example with or without an extra man in the first line – Milan wants to be less predictable and find the free man more easily.
The victory came at a good time. Before the meeting with Lecce, Milan was in a run of three games without a win in all competitions (two draws, one defeat).With Roma, Inter and Lazio currently setting the pace at the top and two points ahead of the Rossoneri, Milan under Amorim nevertheless shows a clear line: defensive stability, efficiency in the box and sufficient flexibility to anticipate different match situations.
Amorim also pointed out the importance of balance in the assessment of the first weeks. Points were lost in difficult away matches, but the team continues to grow in automatisms. Against Lecce, they managed to convert field dominance into opportunities and, more importantly, into goals. With the international break just around the corner, there is now room to further refine details, develop variants in the build-up and sharpen the pressing moments even more. If Milan maintains this line, it will automatically join the battle for the top places.
What's happening now
With the current form and tactical flexibility under Amorim, AC Milan can prepare for the upcoming matches in Serie A. The focus will be on maintaining this unbeaten run and further improving their game. The next match will be a test of their consistency and could determine their ambitions this season.
