Lele Adani defended AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim on Viva el Futbol on 26 October and urged patience with him. AC Milan remain unbeaten after 5 wins and 3 draws, and they sit 4 points behind leaders Inter.
Adani's defence of Amorim
Adani said: "I believe this team - which remains difficult to assess - have finally found the right manager to make a clear break with the past, characterised by a style of football that is now obsolete and no longer suited to the modern game, like Allegri's. It seems to me that people have also been clear on this point, speaking very highly of Amorim's footballing ideas."
Call for patience
Adani said: "What I would like to keep seeing is steady progress, and that is the main aim, although I am asking the fans to have a little patience. Do you know why? Because patience, trust and time are things you also have to earn on the pitch . I heard someone say a few weeks ago that you have to earn trust; and it is curious when you consider that, by contrast, there are those who have had unlimited time... Or rather, have had it for a full seven years, continuing to enjoy trust and enormous investment, probably without having done anything to truly deserve it."
His appeal to fans and owners
Adani said: "By contrast, anyone who arrives at Milanello is given nothing — and I think of how even Fonseca was given so little time, or Conceicao, who had won a trophy and played in another final before being sacked, or Allegri, who was kept on until the very last minute despite failing to qualify for the Champions League."
Adani said: "I say: let’s avoid repeating the mistakes Juventus have made in recent years, when they kept making changes without achieving anything. I ask AC Milan fans and the owners to be patient with Ruben Amorim, because his approach to football, the work ethic he instils and his ability to understand players’ minds, hearts and qualities are all of the highest calibre."
