Amorim lauds Ramos’s pressing, brings Saelemaekers for creativity

After Milan’s 2‑1 victory over Venezia, head coach Ruben Amorim explained that he values Gonçalo Ramos’s work rate more than his goal tally, and that he introduced Alexis Saelemaekers to add creativity to the side. He said the pressing feels like two players working together, but it is really just Ramos.

Amorim stressed that Ramos’s value lies in his pressing, not his scoring. “Non penso ai suoi gol. Certo è l’attaccante, l’abbiamo pagato tanto, ma il modo in cui lavora ci aiuta tantissimo,” he said. He added that at times it feels like two players are pressing, but it is only Ramos.

The coach explained the introduction of Alexis Saelemaekers during the Milan‑Venezia clash. He was initially planning to replace only Ruben Loftus‑Cheek, but decided the team also needed extra creativity. “In quel ruolo avevamo spazio, e la creatività era necessaria,” Amorim noted.

Amorim admitted he entered the match worried about Stroppa’s influence. He confirmed the side suffered one‑on‑one situations and some transition lapses, yet they created more chances than the opposition. “Abbiamo patito l’uno contro uno, ma abbiamo avuto più occasioni di loro per segnare,” he said, before confirming the win.

He highlighted areas for improvement, saying Milan must work better in the box during crosses and that central midfielders need to start transitions earlier. “Dobbiamo migliorare il modo in cui occupiamo l’area durante i cross,” Amorim stated, acknowledging the difficulty of playing in the stadium.
