Amorim: There Are No Days Off at Milan, Losing Feels Like the End of the World
Milan beat Genoa 2-1 at Marassi, continuing their up-and-down run. Head coach Ruben Amorim said he wants his team to be competitive in every match.
Milan defeated Genoa 2-1 away at Marassi. Cisse and Pulisic scored early goals to give the visitors the advantage over the hosts. The result ended Genoa's winning streak of three consecutive matches.
Milan's performance this season looks inconsistent. During the week the team lost to Bologna, then beat Inter in the Madonnina derby, and on Thursday lost 2-0 to Ferencvaros in the Europa League. After the match, Amorim stressed how important it is for the team to be competitive in every game.
Amorim drew attention to the club's mentality with the words 'there are no days off at Milan'. The head coach said that losing should feel like the end of the world, and that a letdown like the one on Thursday cannot be made up for by a recovery on Sunday.
Milan are fourth in the table, five points behind leaders Lazio. The absences of Strahinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Pietro Terracciano and Alexis Saelemaekers are putting pressure on the team. Milan hope the situation will ease a little as the international break approaches.
