Milan-Benfica: Top and Flop Rossoneri, match ratings at San Siro

Amorim's Milan play a terrible match against Benfica: the Rossoneri lose deservedly 2-0 in their season debut in the Europa League. Looking at the whole start of the season, this is Amorim's first defeat since taking over the Rossoneri bench, after two wins and two draws in the first four Serie A games. Yet San Siro immediately answered with whistles.

First alarm: Milan never scores in the opening stages

Amorim must understand what to change from an attitude perspective: you cannot always win or recover a match with only one half and we saw that yesterday against Benfica.

Tactical knot: the offensive maneuver has stalled

It is not possible that a team that creates density in midfield (as Benfica did) is enough to block the entire Rossoneri maneuver. All these crucial tactical guidelines are missing for Amorim, which were seen in the first match against Torino and in the second-half surge against Lazio. Yesterday against Benfica there were many steps back in this regard. It absolutely requires time to solve everything and change this Milan, but more positive signals are also needed, especially regarding those two crucial factors.
