Is it a bluff or not? "Ruben Amorim" responds amid criticism over the playing system following the 1-1 draw with "Juventus" in Italy's Serie A.
On 7 Sep 2026, Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese head coach of AC Milan, a prominent Serie A club, spoke out in response to criticism that his team's playing system was inadequate after their 1-1 draw against "the Bianconeri" Juventus in the latest league match last night.
Rewinding to that match at Allianz Stadium, the visiting "Rossoneri" AC Milan took the lead 1-0 when Samuel Chukwueze crossed to Alfred Duncan, who controlled the ball and curled a shot into the far post in the 68th minute. However, Federico Gatti headed an equalizer for the home side "the Bianconeri" Juventus during injury time at 90+2 minutes, resulting in a shared point each.
Recently, Ruben Amorim stated, "Honestly, I think we did not deserve to win, and Juventus did not deserve to lose. We did not play well. But what I want to emphasize again is that we've only worked together for two months. We immediately faced problems, yet we will not change our playing style. There are some games where we can show good performances coming from our style. The key is that we must stay in the game every single second on the pitch."
