Ruben Amorim navigates tactical challenges during start of Milan season
Summary

Milan has secured seven points through the first three rounds of the season under manager Ruben Amorim. Despite the favorable start, the team has faced offensive inconsistency and lingering tactical adjustments. Adrien Rabiot has struggled to adapt to a number 10 role, often playing with his back to the goal rather than utilizing his typical channel runs. Tactical experiments involving Alexis Saelemaekers and Diego Moreira in the starting lineup during the recent match against Juventus proved ineffective. Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic remains sidelined from match minutes following a pre-season microfracture, though he has been available for selection. Forward Gonçalo Ramos has recorded one goal but has lacked consistent service, leaving Alphadjo Cissé as the most reliable offensive performer for the squad thus far.
