Giuseppe Pancaro analyzed the themes linked to the Lazio‑Milan clash on RadioSportiva
AMORIM, « He was good, Amorim, for getting a nearly compromised match back on track. Amorim has just arrived and needs to get used to Italian football. In Italy we certainly have many problems in football, and there is no need to list them here, but from the point of view of match preparation and tactics I think our coaches are among the best. Consequently, he did not expect the type of game that Lazio imposed on him and that is why Milan suffered so much.
He was however good at understanding where the problem was and at substituting the players not suited to that type of match. Modric is a world‑class player, but if you put him to play in an open field, in one‑on‑one duels with a player like Frattesi who has much more leg, he can struggle. For this he replaced him with Musah. In this way Milan matched Lazio’s athletic strength and, with Pulisic, created many problems for the white‑and‑sky‑blue defenders, who in the first half had no trouble taking references. Pulisic, varying more, created them several problems. I therefore think the coach was better at getting the team back on track than at messing it up at the start ».
