AC Milan drew 2-2 with Celtic in their first summer friendly. After the match, head coach Amorim spoke to the media, reviewing the game.
On Overall Performance
Amorim said: "The players tried to implement our tactical requirements. Today's match wasn't easy. I felt the team was working hard to adjust the game's rhythm. At certain moments, especially after conceding goals, we should have performed better. However, considering we've only trained for two weeks, this performance is normal."
Difference Between Halves
"Sometimes that's how matches go. After conceding the first goal, the team's rhythm was somewhat affected. Our start in the second half was much better, which had a direct impact on the game's flow—we conceded early in the first half and scored early in the second."
On Camarda
"Camarda will stay with our first team. I have full confidence in him, as well as in the other young players training with us. I don't want to single out individual performances, but I can confirm that Camarda will be part of our squad this season."
Tactical Requirements
"We tried to control possession but faced some difficulties because we were implementing a high press. This tactic needs further integration into the team and refinement. As our fitness improves and our understanding of the game deepens, we'll do better. The team hasn't fully formed this tactical system yet, but the direction is clear. We need to dominate matches through ball control. Sometimes it takes a while to move from the back to the front, requiring patience and磨合."
Thoughts on Two Weeks of Training
"First, I want to acknowledge the team's dedication and effort during this period. The coaching staff has prepared thoroughly, and I'm satisfied with everything so far. With a team that trains this hard, we will definitely improve. Although many players haven't returned yet, I'm happy with the young players' performances."
Thiaw's Injury
"Thiaw felt some discomfort during the match, but I don't think it's serious. I hope and believe he can recover quickly."
