Amorim: Long Way to Go, I Need 22 Players Ready

Milan head coach Ruben Amorim analyzed his team's performance in the match against Salzburg.

According to "Verzeh Se", Milan won its first victory in the current season of the Europa League. In the second week of the league stage, the Rossoneri defeated Salzburg 4-0 in an away match. Alfajo Cisse played a major role in this victory by recording a hat-trick and Gonvalo Ramos by scoring a goal. After the game, Ruben Amorim spoke to reporters.

"In some previous games we had more control over the match, but today we were able to score. I think in terms of overall performance, we played better in other matches, but at the end of the day, everyone just looks at the result. However, I am naturally happy with this victory."

What does Cisse's hat trick show?

"In my opinion, Cisse deserves the opportunities he has been given because of the performance he has shown physically. He has great ability. Of course, he still needs to work on some aspects of his game and improve himself. He should improve in terms of training. However, he should be congratulated tonight. Registering such a hat trick is wonderful. But at the same time, he must continue to try and improve."

Why don't we always see such a good Milan on the pitch?

"I do not agree with this. I think we played better as a team in some previous matches. We had a good performance tonight, but in some situations, if the opposing players were more accurate, they could have scored against us. We lost the ball several times near our own penalty area and we had problems in the playmaking process. We still have to work on these issues."

Using a few players who played few minutes?

"I trust these players. I could not use the same main composition of future games in this match. Naturally, such a decision has risks; If we had lost tonight, I know exactly what would have been said about that decision. I try to make the best decision for the team and do things the right way. Fortunately, we got a good result tonight."

Will the quality of training increase?

"I agree with this. The most important thing for a team is that all the players know and believe that they can play and at the same time, they are aware that they may lose their place in the starting line-up. There is still a long way to go, that's why I need 22 competitive players. Such competitions make players gain more self-confidence and increase their belief in their own abilities.

This game will be useful for young players as well as Loftus-Cheek. Today, he appeared very aggressive and active when defending and when the ball was in the opponent's possession. "This match will help many players."
