Ruben Amorim’s new era began with an important win against Torino on Sunday night, and his identity was already on display.

As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews ) recall this morning, Ignazio Abate’s Torino gave Milan a hard time towards the end. For 75 minutes, however, the Rossoneri showed very positive things, scoring two goals in the second half with a deadly one-two blow in the space of a couple of minutes .

Off on the right foot

Amorim’s new philosophy is already evident: a high defensive line, intensity, attacking play, and strong pressing. Obviously, this is only the first match, and there are many things to work on and improve, but it’s undeniable that starting with a win after the summer revolution was crucial.

Gerry Cardinale was in Turin yesterday to support the team in their first competitive match of the season, and he can be satisfied with what he saw on the pitch. Amorim’s decisions paid off, particularly the one that led to the 19-year-old Alphadjo Cissé starting , who opened the scoring.

The former Sporting CP coach’s substitutions were also crucial, as he brought on Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot in the second half, giving his team the boost they needed.

With their first three points secured, Milan can now prepare with greater serenity and confidence for their first home match in front of their fans, scheduled for Friday at San Siro against Venezia. However, today also marks the start of the final week of the transfer window.

It looks like a busy few days for the Rossoneri in terms of both outgoings and incomings. Christopher Nkunku’s loan move to RB Leipzig (with an option to buy) will be finalised in the next few hours, but the most complex issue at the Rossoneri is the future of Rafael Leao.

The Portuguese is up for sale, but it remains to be seen whether the right offer arrives that satisfies both Milan and the player.
