Ruben Amorim ends up at the centre of Franco Ordine's analysis in Il Giornale. Here are the journalist's statements.

MILAN, “For Milan, suspended between one troubled rebuilding and another, it is already time to bring clarity. First of all about the atmosphere around Amorim: if he thinks he is being besieged because he is a foreigner in his own country (at Milanello), he is greatly mistaken. Here they are only waiting to see what he has promised: not immediately but to glimpse the first signs of his announced change. Then it is up to the same Portuguese coach to take the best path. Because if he started the season with performances marked by contrast in performance, then the underlying issue is not his football creed but the attitude of the players. And in this sense the first half of the Olympico against Lazio was an exemplary verdict: wrong players in the wrong place. Starting with Estupinan. If Amorim had looked at the Lazio‑Milan match of the last tournament he would have noticed that the defeat was caused by a defensive breakthrough by the Colombian, similar to the one committed on Cancellieri’s goal.”

MODRIC, “Regarding Loftus‑Cheek: the Englishman has behaved like this for years, half a good match and then he disappears. Only concerning Modric it is necessary to immediately denounce a vulgar campaign against the Croatian superstar sponsored by social media occupied by improvised tacticians. It is true: he played poorly but he was the only one to press in the Lazio area a ball that could have become the most convenient 1‑2. Giving up on him only because of his paperwork is a prejudice.”
