The full picture

AC Milan's defeat to Ferencvaros highlighted the need for January signings to strengthen the squad, according to Milanreports.com. The loss was seen as a confirmation that the team's bench is not up to the required standard. Amorim's rotation was criticized, as bringing on big names in the second half did not change the outcome. The newspaper noted that replacements like Terracciano are not sufficient.

Coach Amorim attributed the loss to a lack of preparation and mental readiness, stating that the team failed to fight for every second ball and pay attention to small details. He emphasized that the issue was not about the starting lineup, but about being ready to win every match. Amorim acknowledged that the team struggled with maintaining the same level with only three days between matches.

Amorim took responsibility for the team's performance, stating that there were no excuses, especially for the first half. He mentioned that managing the starting eleven is linked to avoiding injuries, but emphasized that the team needs to work on maintaining their level with short intervals between matches. The coach expressed his disappointment with the team's performance, saying that he had nothing to defend it.
