Diego Moreira responds with brace and leaves praise for Amorim: "Struck the right chords"

SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 21:05

Diego Moreira, Belgian player for Milan, came on at halftime in the match against Lazio and responded to coach Rúben Amorim's trust with an impressive display. The young winger scored two goals in just two minutes, securing his team's draw.

The 19-year-old player's performance was decisive for the final result, with Milan managing to get a point away from home in a complicated Serie A Italian match.

At the end of the encounter, Moreira did not hide his satisfaction and directed praise at his coach, highlighting that Amorim "struck the right chords" with his intervention. The player revealed that the option to play him on the left side was particularly important for his performance.

This performance comes at a time of growing importance for the young Belgian, who has been gaining more minutes under the command of Amorim, former Sporting coach.

Why this matters

The highlight given to Amorim's tactical decision reinforces the reputation of the Leiria-born coach and feeds national pride in the export of top coaches.
