The international break can always provide interesting points and reflections on Milan's current situation and its players. Today the short focus is centered on the red and black striker Gonçalo Ramos, recently criticised for the few goals (and finishes) in recent matches. The Portuguese is indeed the target of criticism. A lot of dirty work, a lot of running but few shots on target and only one goal so far.

In fact, Ramos is criticised for the few goals scored so far for Milan. To date the only scoring with Milan is the one in the second half at San Siro against Venezia. The Portuguese does a lot of dirty work, making tackles on opposing defenders and large pressing runs, expressly requested by coach Amorim. Nevertheless, the former Benfica and PSG striker has still been decisive in another way. This is the curious statistic reported by Opta after Milan's beautiful and convincing victory the day before yesterday against Lecce.

Opta data that dispels the controversy

Since Serie A returned to 20 teams (2004/05), only six strikers have been involved in at least one goal in their first two home appearances with Milan in the league: Alexandre Pato, Mario Balotelli, Carlos Bacca, Gonzalo Higuaín, Olivier Giroud and Gonçalo Ramos.
