After the 3-0 defeat against Chelsea in the last friendly of the tour in Oceania and Asia, journalist Peppe Di Stefano commented on the Rossoneri's performance from Jakarta. The analysis focused on the context of the match, with Ruben Amorim using the test to evaluate several players and draw indications for future decisions on the squad.
According to Di Stefano, the result must be analyzed considering the numerous experiments carried out, but at the same time it represents a signal on the need to raise the level of the squad.
Di Stefano stated: 'Today, many experiments were made. Apart from Luka Modric, all the players who had to be tested were put on the field. Many young players, between the first and second half. And for Milan, beyond being inferior in absolute value to Chelsea, today's game must be weighed with intelligence.'
Di Stefano also said: 'They will send away some players to play on loan, some will be sold, and consequently others will stay. In these first 15 days, I have seen Amorim working well with the squad. Today, there are too many players: 33 in the squad and Maignan and Rabiot are still to arrive. When a young coach arrives after a particular season, you have to give him the squad as soon as possible and unite the environment. The players in excess must be sold, only in this way can the coach work at his best.'
Di Stefano's words highlight the moment of transition experienced by Milan, engaged in building Amorim's new squad. The defeat against Chelsea provided important indications for the Portuguese coach, who is now called to define hierarchies and the final squad before the start of the official season.
