Amorim's recipe to win the Europa League

“For this it is important to have a large squad, make rotations and be in shape. If there is motivation, you can win every match and every competition. The objective is to win.” Obviously there will be important rotations this season for the Devil: just look at the October calendar which will be a nightmare for all scheduled matches. Seven games from 11 to 31 October: changes will be inevitable and therefore all players, including youngsters, will be essential.

Winning mentality: the plan for the hellish October month

Does this Milan have the qualities to win the Europa League? On paper the Rossoneri have a squad that can fight to the end: already the league phase will be a heavy test as the Devil will face other favored teams such as Benfica, Bournemouth and Sunderland. Amorim will have to be extremely good at managing the double fixture starting from the terrible month of October.
