Amorim defends Ramos: "He'll score plenty when we play higher"

Milan won in Genoa with goals from Cissé and Pulisic, but the match left the feeling that the attack still lacks something to unlock Gonçalo Ramos. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Rúben Amorim defended the Portuguese striker and pointed to a collective issue: his team doesn't spend enough time in the final third, even though it keeps possession and is improving in ball progression.

The Rossoneri boss was clear: "When we are stably in the final third, Gonçalo will score a lot of goals." He added that they are still far from dominating enough for Ramos to spend most of the game in the opposition box, and described it as a process.

On competitiveness, Amorim stressed mentality: at Milan there are no days off, and you can't arrive flat midweek and expect to react on Sunday. He spoke of a fear of losing rather than a physical issue.
