Milan More Free, But Roma and Inter Remain Distant

Ruben Amorim can afford a smile after Milan's win against Lecce, concluding the fifth matchday of Serie A. The league pauses for international duty, but the Rossoneri return to winning ways, closing the gap to two points behind the leaders: Roma, Inter, and Lazio.

Amorim's Post-Match Thoughts: 'Players More Free Today. Roma and Inter Are Distant'

Speaking to Dazn after the Milan-Lecce match, Ruben Amorim stated, "We were a bit stuck in recent games, a bit static. I believe the players' freedom, movement, and especially the runs from deep made the difference. Roma and Inter, I think they are distant. If you look at our style of play and the opponents, I think they've had more time as a team. You can see their mechanisms are clearer than ours, but we haven't lost that many points."

Despite a mixed start to the season, Amorim remains optimistic. "We deserved more points. Against Lazio, we could have won, and against Juventus, we conceded late. We are doing well." Regarding team dynamics, he added, "Certainly, I listen to the players, but for a coach, especially at a big club, it's impossible to make decisions solely based on their input. I try to understand them, but the final decision is always mine."
