Ruben Amorim warned AC Milan that they can still lose to anyone if they do not find consistency, speaking on Wednesday before the Europa League game against Ferencvarosi on 5 November. He said Milan must move on from the 3-1 win over Inter on Saturday.
Focus shifts to Europa League
Amorim said: "That is the goal. We need to forget about Inter; there's a new competition. This is the Europa League. For us, it's a very important game. More than the result, we need to maintain that consistency. We were consistent during the game . It's a big step we need to have. Doesn't matter rotations, players on the pitch. We need to be a very good team and win tomorrow, and our goal is to go all the way in this competition."
Amorim said: "I'm not satisfied in the Europa League; I'm not satisfied in Serie A, but sometimes it goes like that. Every game has its history. We had some issues in the Europa League, but I think we can change that tomorrow and win."
Rotation and responsibility
Amorim said: "The most important game is this one, but we also need to acknowledge that we must be careful with some players. We have a big schedule behind us, and we can't lose many players in the next games."
Amorim said: "This is the most important game, but we'll need to rotate, all players are ready. It is our responsibility to win the game. We'll face a big opponent that has nine points in this competition. They haven't lost any games in their league, but we have the responsibility to win."
Europa League and Serie A record
GOAL reported that Milan are 24th in the Europa League league phase. GOAL reported that Milan have one Europa League victory so far, a 4-0 win over Salzburg, plus a 2-0 home defeat to Benfica and a 3-0 loss away at Bournemouth.
Amorim said: "I think sometimes it's hard to explain. There can be rotations and sometimes we need to change the way we play. Against Benfica, we didn't play our game, but had more possession."
Amorim said: "We had some issues, then we had a very good game in Salzburg, and then in Bournemouth, where there was a send-off and two penalties. Our fault, with the Mike situation, which didn't help us to fight for the game. We are not doing really well in Serie A. We won the last one, but I think we should have more points."
Warning over inconsistency
GOAL reported that Milan have suffered one defeat in Serie A, a 4-2 loss to Bologna. GOAL reported that draws against Juventus, Lazio, and Sassuolo left Milan fifth in the table on 21 points after 10 matches, seven points behind Lazio.
Amorim said: "We can lose any game; we can win any game. This is the characteristic of this team. It depends on how we face the game. It doesn't matter if it's Serie A, Serie B, or Europa League. We can win any game and, at the same time, lose any game. Especially now that everyone knows everyone, the players have technical abilities, and coaches have the tools and footage to prepare for the games."
