The head coach of the Rossoneri recognized the team's failure before the break, explained the tactical substitution of Luka Modric and learned how the changes from the other half turned the match at the Olimpico.

Milan head coach Ruben Amorim sharply criticized his team after the first half of the match against Lazio (2:2). The mentor noted the lack of logic in the actions of the Gravians before the break, following the words of the legendary Alberto Gilardino about those who the first half was a failure.

For Amorim, this is already the fourth episode after he has had to correct the situation on the field in another half with additional substitutions:.

" We got a point, but our guilt is much better - you can’t just give your opponent a whole time. Before the break we simply weren’t on the field. There was no correct energy. We played the ball in the simplest situations, without the pressure on the opponent’s side.

In the other half, everything changed radically: we added energy, worked miraculously with the ball, controlled the rhythm and improved the game when necessary.. “Ale mi can’t waste one more time,” said Amorim.

The key decisions that changed the course of the game were the replacement of Luka Modric with Yunus Musa. Following the words of Amorim, the Croatian playmaker sank too low to the central defenders, through which the team found themselves in a minority between the lines. In addition, open play on competitive courses is not suitable for Modric's style.

“If Luka felt comfortable, it’s our fault to dominate Volodya’s ball. As the game turns into continuous runs here and there, it becomes impossible to gamble. We also changed the approach in the other half and released Musa - we will need pace in the center of the field,” explained Fahivets.

At the same time, he harshly responded to criticism of the starting warehouse: “I’m not God-loving and I don’t make a choice so that the team plays poorly,” he added..

Amorim also analyzed in detail the game in the attack, commenting on the exit of Diego Moreiri and the role of the attacker Goncalo Ramos. The coach noted that he released Moreira in front of us for the sake of speed and width against the opponent’s three opponents. Shchodo Ramusha, the mentor emphasizes the team’s more varied actions nearby..

“We spend a lot of time with the ball, but we’re too far away from someone else’s penalty. We have to lean forward and create more ligaments in the middle of the zone. We can get there right away, including through the overhangs.

No matter how much you serve, it’s always difficult for an attacker in such a situation. We need alternative options for entering the penalty area, for example, through the displacement of Pulisic and Cisse into the center, so that Ramush has more opportunities to get in touch with the ball,” the Milan head coach concluded.

After 4 rounds, the Rossoneri are in 5th place in Serie A. Already on the 16th of spring, the Amorim team starts at the Europa lake. Milan will host Benfica at home, the starting whistle blows at 22:00 after the Kiev hour.
