Set-Piece Goals: Amorim Doesn't Know How to Handle Milan's Problem!

Ruben Amorim at AC Milan faces a new challenge, in addition to the pressure of not achieving the desired results.

According to "Verzeh Se", Milan failed to meet expectations at the end of the first six weeks of the season by recording three wins and three draws, including the recent draw against Sassuolo. However, the more worrying issue for the Portuguese coach is the numerous goals conceded from set pieces.

Team Amorim have conceded three goals from corner kicks in their six official matches, showing a similar pattern of lack of defensive focus. In the last match, Odenthal of Sassuolo took advantage of the passivity of the Milan defenders and scored. Previously, Gatti had opened Milan's goal from corner kicks in the last minutes of the match against Juventus and Adams in the match against Torino.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Portuguese coach is very unhappy with the individual mistakes and the lack of concentration of his players in these scenes, because this structural weakness was also seen in the preseason games against Chelsea and Manchester United. After the game with Sassuolo, Amorim emphasized that his team should not concede such goals from corner kicks and actually lost two important points.

In addition to these tactical problems, the severe injury of Matteo Gabbia has doubled Amorim's problems in the defensive line. The central and key defender of Milan suffered a severe muscle injury during the match against Sassuolo, and according to the confirmation of the medical staff, he will be out of action for a few weeks so that the Portuguese head coach's hands are closed to choose the starting line-up for the upcoming matches.
