Milan Boss Wishing For a Couple of Winter Additions | OneFootball

After avoiding losses thanks to admirable reactions in Serie A play, Milan couldn’t do the same versus Benfica midweek, falling for the first time this season. The Rossoneri once again looked disjointed in the first half and couldn’t muster a comeback this time.

Ruben Amorim admitted that the squad didn’t totally fit his concepts in his post-game remarks. The front office couldn’t reach all the objectives during the summer and could resort to a couple of January additions, Calciomercato reports.

In particular, the Milan coach wants a defender who can handle the ball better than their current ones, besides Mario Gila. In particular, the gaffer eyed Gonçalo Inacio, but Sporting CP held on to him after cashing in on other players.

The Rossoneri didn’t pursue other center-backs, reintegrated Fikayo Tomori and opted to trust Filippo Terracciano and Sankhoun Diawara behind their starters. Matteo Gabbia has been used sparingly compared to previous seasons, and not just because of a lingering ankle problem.

Instead, the front office intervened offensively late in the window, acquiring Omari Hutchison on an initial loan from Nottingham Forest. However, the manager would have preferred a different kind of attacker. They and Roma have earmarked Real Madrid’s Endrick ahead of January.

Our Take on Milan and Amorim

The successful rallies have kept them afloat and masked some problems that go beyond their acquisitions, or lack thereof in certain cases. Before asking for further reinforcements, the boss must solve more than a few tactical conundrums that are holding them back and find a way to help some of their big-ticket players.
