Torino-Milan, first matchday of the 2026-27 Serie A season: the protagonists of the game spoke at the post‑match press conference. Here are the words of Ruben Amorim, the Rossoneri coach.

If he liked the team's attitude: "Every coach has a different idea of play: there is no right or wrong one, there is victory or the anon victory. We want to control the ball. We did it well in the first half. Then we have to do it better, we have to kill the game. We came into this match without having played who knows how many games or with many players with few minutes. Rabiot has arrived recently, Modric is not in the best condition. He is doing 75 minutes brilliantly in the first match of the season".

Diego Moreira on which flank he sees him and whether he is satisfied with Chukwueze's first defensive test: "Moreira can play as a number five both on the right and on the left, perhaps he will play more on the right. In a big club you must have two great players in one position. Moreira and Chukwueze have important characteristics, difficult to find in a single player. Of course, in a formation, if you play with a winger with certain characteristics, the opposite must have others. Saelemaekers wants to get inside the field, he has a different game. They will also play together and fight for the role".

Is there something he did not like: "I will not say. I do not want to be harsh with my players. I liked the match up to the 75th minute, but it was more my fault than theirs. If I look at the team, I think we have the potential to do better. I liked the players today".

On Cissé: "He is an intelligent boy. He did well today, but we must be careful. He will play and will not play, we need to balance everything. You know Milan better than me... He has a lot to do. Playing for Milan is very difficult. To fight for titles, there is pressure. He, Camarda, Comotto, Vladimirov, we will try to help the boys grow".
