Amorim errs, Maignan betrays Milan, Bournemouth isn’t Manchester City

Amorim again set up the lineup poorly, and Milan's Maignan was let down in a match against Bournemouth, a Premier League side that, despite being 15th, cannot be compared to Manchester City and delivered a performance well below expectations.

Tactical choices of Amorim

Amorim stopped at just two consecutive wins, just when his team seemed to be emerging, but the mistakes multiplied and fed the doubts. Milanello's walls have observed that inserting too many reserves risks creating embarrassments, especially with players like Loftus‑Cheek, Estupinan and Jashari out of position.

In Europe Milan already records two defeats in three games, showing that it cannot afford to line up all these elements together. Cisse fell victim to a wrong choice by Amorim, and the absence of the starting striker forced a youngster, who was in Serie B last year, to play out of position, with a centre‑forward who even took corner kicks.

Maignan's betrayal and the reality of Bournemouth

Maignan let Milan down last night with a glaring mistake, alongside De Winter's high arm, which caused a penalty for the opponents and left the team with ten men. Even in an 11‑against‑11 a huge gap was evident, exacerbated by the madness of some individuals.

Bournemouth is a Premier League side, but they are 15th in the table and yesterday's match did not represent the true quality of the two line‑ups. The commentary notes that Milan looked poor against a tough side, but it is not Manchester City, Barcelona or PSG.

The evening was marked by a downpour that accompanied Milan's performance, overwhelmed by adverse weather. Maignan and Amorim were singled out as the main culprits of this defeat.
