I liked Milan, at times a lot. Even in the first half, despite the few real chances they created. They already look like a side with clear ideas, even on the opening matchday: I didn’t expect them to be so far along tactically.
Any judgement still needs a bit of caution, but Amorim is starting to reap the rewards.
They wanted to keep the ball, dominate possession, move it quickly and press high: but they need to be more clinical, shoot more often and find Goncalo Ramos more regularly, because he had very few playable balls.
For Milan, making a good start mattered for confidence too. Confidence from outside and, above all, inside the dressing room: for the players, it matters to see that the work done in recent weeks is already paying off.
