What is holding Milan back? From Amorim's management to a doubt about Ramos

With the league on hold, the international break always provides interesting talking points and, so far, Milan is under the spotlight. In Amorim's new side there is a specific player at the centre of discussion: Goncalo Ramos. But why has the Portuguese forward become the target of various criticisms?

Milan, Ramos' statistic

Nevertheless, the former PSG player has still proved decisive. According to Opta, since Serie A returned to the 20-team format, only six forwards have been involved in at least one goal in the first two home games with Milan: they are Pato, Balotelli, Bacca, Higuain, Giroud and Ramos himself.

In conclusion, judging Ramos only by the scorers' table would be a huge mistake. The Portuguese striker is paying a steep price in terms of sharpness in the box, precisely because of the great work required by Amorim.

If on one hand Milan has regained compactness and a suffocating press, on the other the coach's challenge will be to bring his centre-forward closer to the penalty area, but Amorim will have the necessary time during this break to try to understand how to fine-tune all the gears.
