Today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport analyses Gonçalo Ramos' early‑season performance, noting that the Milan striker leads the team in distance covered on the pitch but has not shot at goal for four consecutive matches and has only one goal, scored against Venezia.

The weight of the summer investment

Despite the great tactical work he provides for teammates and his generosity in every match, the management and the environment expect much more incisiveness in front of goal. The club on Via Aldo Rossi invested over 70 million euros during the summer transfer window to bring him from Paris Saint-Germain, counting on his goal instinct for Milan's seasonal ambitions. At the moment, however, the offensive balance shows a clear gap between the amount of work the Portuguese centre‑forward does and his actual danger in the opponent's penalty area.

The bond with the fans and their warmth

In an interview given to official channels, Gonçalo Ramos highlighted the importance of the link with supporters, describing the emotional impact since his arrival: "It was very nice, I met the fans for the first time in Jakarta where we have many supporters. It was incredible, because we were so far from home but we could clearly feel their support. You understand how huge Milan is as a club and as a fan base". He also reiterated that the push from the crowd is decisive to overcome difficult moments and find the right competitive charge: "Our fans give us strength and support in every match. I like feeling this warmth during the game. Sometimes it may seem a small help, but in important moments it is fundamental."

The Rossoneri now rely on his scoring ability to turn the season around and repay the huge summer economic investment.
