Milan draw with Sassuolo, leaving Amorim four issues to address
AC Milan drew 1-1 away to Sassuolo in Serie A on Sunday, October 11, in Reggio nell’Emilia, Italy.
Adrien Rabiot put Milan ahead after an hour, but Sassuolo defender Cas Odenthal equalised less than five minutes later.
Milan owner Gerry Cardinale watched the match and was reportedly disappointed with the team’s performance.
Criticism focused on Milan losing their shape after scoring and allowing Sassuolo several chances before the equaliser.
Questions were also raised about the team’s leadership and experience, as well as its low number of shots.
Coach Ruben Amorim has also been criticised for changing formations and line-ups, leaving Milan without a clear playing identity after six league games.
Amorim is left to address these issues, but no specific next steps are given.
