Rúben Amorim publicly reacted to the criticism that has been emerging around his work at AC Milan, at a time when the Italian club is going through a period of unstable results. The Portuguese coach, who recently took over the Milanese club, acknowledged that the arrival of a foreign coach on the bench has not been easily accepted by some sectors.
The 1-1 draw against Juventus in the last round of the Italian league has exacerbated the first doubts about AC Milan. The result left the team in a less comfortable position in the Serie A standings, fueling the debate about Amorim's ability to implement his football in a context as demanding as the Calcio.
The Portuguese coach, however, demonstrated confidence in his working method and in the quality of the squad at his disposal. Amorim also hinted that he understands the reservations of some sectors, but that he is focused on proving his worth on the pitch, regardless of external criticism.
This moment comes in a broader context of Amorim adapting to a new league and a different football culture, after achieving significant success in Portugal, notably at Sporting. The pressure on the Portuguese coach is likely to intensify if results do not improve in the coming rounds.
