Unbeaten but under fire! AC Milan are already losing patience with Ruben Amorim
Ruben Amorim's unbeaten start at AC Milan is apparently not enough to keep the club's management satisfied.
Details: According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, with the story also reported by The Sun, frustration is growing within AC Milan over Ruben Amorim's tactical approach, despite the Rossoneri remaining unbeaten in Serie A. Club owner Gerry Cardinale was reportedly visibly unhappy following the team's disappointing 1-1 draw against Sassuolo on October 11.
Milan took the lead against Sassuolo through Adrien Rabiot in the 63rd minute, but their advantage lasted just five minutes before Cas Odenthal equalized. The result raised fresh questions about Amorim's ability to control matches and protect leads.
The Portuguese manager's defensive approach has become a particular concern. Rabiot has publicly criticized the team's tendency to retreat after taking the lead instead of continuing to attack and searching for another goal.
A similar problem emerged against Juventus in September. Milan went ahead through Alpha Cisse but conceded a stoppage-time equalizer from Federico Gatti, eventually settling for another 1-1 draw. According to A Bola, the team's performances have become increasingly unconvincing since a promising opening to the campaign.
It is worth noting that Milan have collected 12 points from their opening six Serie A matches, recording three wins and three draws. Despite remaining undefeated in the league, Amorim's side sit fifth in the standings, four points behind leaders Inter and Lazio.
