Milan coach Ruben Amorim expressed frustration and confusion after his team's 2-0 Europa League loss to Ferencvaros, stating they were unprepared to play. Amorim cited the team's inability to perform every three days as a major issue. The loss was Milan's third in four Europa League matches. Amorim admitted that he may not have done enough to prepare the team.
Amorim struggled to explain the significant difference between Milan's performance in their previous match, a 3-1 win against Inter, and the loss to Ferencvaros. He highlighted issues with ambition, concentration, and the team's approach to different competitions. The coach acknowledged that Milan's squad rotation and injuries may have contributed to the inconsistent performances.
Despite the disappointing result, Amorim expressed his commitment to continuing the fight in the Europa League as long as it is mathematically possible. He emphasized the need for Milan to improve their approach and be more competitive on multiple fronts. Amorim also praised Strahinja Pavlovic, who was rested for the match, and highlighted the importance of players setting a good example in training.

Source context
Ruben Amorim was furious and bemused by Milan’s 2-0 Europa League defeat to Ferencvaros. ‘There is no explanation. We were not prepared to play football. We are not ready to play every three days.’ The Rossoneri cannot seem to find any consistency, as they can follow up the 3-1 Derby della Madonnina triumph against rivals Inter with this remarkably sluggish performance in the same stadium. Lenny Joseph pounced on two defensive and goalkeeping errors to beat 21-year-old Lorenzo Torriani, deputising for suspended Mike Maignan and injured Pietro Terracciano, to give Ferencvaros a 2-0 victory at San Siro.
