Amorim: ‘Milan don’t want to win, we need to win’ starting from Torino

AC Milan's new manager Ruben Amorim insists the team must feel the pressure against Torino in their upcoming Serie A match, stating "it's not that we want to win, we need to win." This will be Amorim's first competitive debut as a head coach, following his appointment from Manchester United. The match is scheduled to take place at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Sunday at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST).

Amorim emphasizes the importance of starting the season strongly, highlighting the contrast between the challenge of playing against Italian teams and previous experiences, such as against Manchester United. He remains optimistic about his new team's potential, stating that a cohesive unit is crucial for success.

A notable aspect of the match is the absence of significant new signings due to Milan's unsuccessful Champions League qualification last season. Amorim acknowledges the need for the team to demonstrate unity and focus, particularly when facing "smaller" teams, as their performance against big teams was stronger. He outlines his expectations for a more attacking style of play, intending to increase the number of crosses into the box while maintaining defensive solidity.

Amorim addresses Milan's historical struggles against certain Serie A teams, highlighting the importance of building a strong mentality to overcome these challenges. He cites Inter, Como, Roma, and Atalanta as examples of teams with distinct playing styles that could pose difficulties for Milan. Despite the challenges, Amorim remains committed to achieving the ultimate goal - winning the Scudetto.
