  "account": "Ruben Amorim, AC Milan's coach, seems to be reconsidering his position on the club's recent transfer activity following their recent defeat to Benfica. Just days after praising the Rossoneri's summer signings, Amorim acknowledged that some of the new additions may not fit his system. This shift in stance comes amid criticism from Italian media, who pointed to Milan's winless run in the last three matches across various competitions.\n\nThe Italian coach admitted during an interview with Sky Sports that only a portion of the team currently aligns with his preferred style of play. He emphasized that this is an inevitable aspect when taking on a new team, as it takes time for every player to adapt and showcase their optimal performance. Despite this, Amorim remains committed to the project, noting the significant expectations placed on him due to the club's prestige and the high profile of its management, including owner Gerry Cardinale.\n\nAmorim's comments on Milan's transfer market were notably positive, rating it a \"10/10,\" just before the team's match against Juventus. However, his recent remarks about the squad's compatibility with his tactical approach appear to present a more cautious and realistic view of their current form. Milan's ongoing struggles have led to Amorim meeting with the club's owner to discuss the team's situation and ways to address the issues before their next home game against Lecce.",
