«The most important thing is to be a Milan team, we cannot think about comparisons with the past. We want to have more ball possession and it will be seen immediately», says Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach is about to experience his first game on the bench leading the Devil, at 20:45 away against Torino (live on Sky and Dazn). A tricky match for the Rossoneri, especially considering the ongoing work between Casa Milan and Milanello.
The squad, after all, is not complete and the team still has to assimilate all the concepts of the new coach, decidedly different from the ideas of Massimiliano Allegri. With Amorim, in fact, Milan will try to play a much more offensive football, accepting the risk of exposing themselves. It is likely, in any case, that Rafael Leao will not be part of the new course, as also suggested by Amorim’s own words:
«Rafa at this moment is not important. The match against Torino counts. Surely he will be absent against the Granata, we will see in the future», says the coach. «Milan’s goal is always to win the Scudetto, but we have to be honest with the fans and explain that there is a gap with Inter», Amorim continues. Moving on to the field news, there should be three new faces from the first minute.

At the center of the attack, obviously, space for Gonçalo Ramos. A few meters behind, on the trequartista along with Loftus-Cheek, there will be Cissé, bought from Verona in January but remained on loan in Serie B at Catanzaro («I love Cissè», Amorim’s comment). In defense, then, here is Mario Gila, taken from Lazio for 30 million: he will play as right center-back, together with Gabbia and Pavlovic.
Much curiosity, then, for Chukwueze, returned from loan at Fulham and deployed on the entire flank by Amorim. No doubt, finally, about the presence of Modric in midfield, with Rabiot favored over Jashari to complete the midfield. Opposite will be Torino of former Rossonero Ignazio Abate: «I became a man at Milan», the coach’s comment.
