Rúben Amorim, the Milan head coach, spoke at the post‑match press conference after the Milan‑Venezia game, a fixture of the second matchday of the 2026‑2027 Serie A season that took place tonight at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in San Siro, Milan. Here are his statements.

Second win in a row, but also too many goal chances for the opponents tonight: "I think so, we cannot give away two chances in time. Because we risk conceding goals and then it is difficult. But that is the way we defend now. These details need time to be fixed. Now we defend with a lot of space. We need to do better especially with the ball. We must improve also the way we defend against crosses. This match however was difficult".

If he always goes straight to the locker room after the match and what he thought: "When it ends, especially when we win, I go to the locker room because I need to calm down. For me it is important to understand the match well and calm down. I need five minutes for myself. The first thought is that we still have a lot to do. We are far from the team we need to be. But the boys are working well. Happy because we won, but we have to do a lot".

If it is a step forward or backward compared to the first: "At this moment everything is a step forward. Because it allows us to work. They were two completely different games. Against Torino we knew exactly how to face them, here we did not know the rotations well. So we can say it is a step forward because we won and understood what to work on".

If he saw Gonçalo Ramos demoralised after the first half and how Pulisic is: "Pulisic is a great talent, I want to manage my talents well. Now we need to win. He comes from an injury and has few trainings. The priority is to win. Gonçalo Ramos is a great player, he has won everything. He missed two chances, but on the third he was calm. I did not need to say anything".
