AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim addressed the press after the match against Genoa in the 11th round of the Serie A season, discussing squad rotation, mentality, the team’s style of play and refereeing.
Squad rotation
Amorim said: “Squad rotation is necessary for us.”
Performance and mentality
Amorim said: “Clearly, Thursday was a poor match for the players we have: I think it's a matter of mentality, and we have to address it.”
He also said: “When we're unable to compete, we're completely at sea.”
Playing style and Ramos
Amorim said: “We're completely changing the way we play. We have more possession. We control matches more with the ball.”
He thought AC Milan were a long way from the finished product. Amorim said AC Milan's players were playing far from the opposition's penalty area, meaning Goncalo Ramos would have clearer chances, and that it was not Ramos's fault.
The refereeing approach
On the refereeing approach, including the match against Genoa, Amorim said: “I won't comment on it, because I know that talking about referees isn't something that could help my team. You have eyes, you have the channels, you've seen the match. You can judge for yourselves.”
