The Milan season continues under Ruben Amorim who has so far earned 8 points out of the 12 available. A good start in terms of final results, but it still leaves some doubts about the performances of the Rossoneri. Take, for example, the latest match against Lazio: we saw a disastrous Milan (words of Gila) in the first half and a charging and at times exciting Milan in the second half. Why?

Tactical problems of the first half at the Olimpico

In the non-possession phase, the Rossoneri left overly simple passing lanes in the centre of the field to the opponents. Then it is complex for the defence to keep the unit together and never concede anything. Pressing without the ball and the link‑up between midfield, three‑quarters and the first striker are crucial for Amorim's game.

The turnaround in the second half: Amorim's controlled chaos

From the match against Lazio it is clear that Amorim must continue with his football creed and go straight on his path. If he falls into tactical compromises, the risk is to see once again the disastrous Devil of the first half at the Olimpico.
