Fabio Capello praised Ruben Amorim for finally fielding the right starting line-up during AC Milan’s win over Lecce.
Milan simply had to bounce back after their midweek loss in the Europa League to Benfica, and they did so with a convincing 3-0 win over Lecce. Christian Pulisic ended his Milan goal drought in the first half, then Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira each scored in the second.

With Inter and Roma drawing in their meeting on Saturday it has certainly made things tighter at the top, with the Rossoneri now two points behind the league-leaders. Given that pressure had begun to start mounting after three games without a win, it feels like a crucial three points.
‘Perhaps found the right path’
Capello gave an interview to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanPress) in which he spoke about how multiple clubs enter the three-week international break, including his old side Milan.
“Amorim has finally fielded his best team and perhaps found the right path. We saw the results immediately, now we’re waiting for Milan to integrate the new players, then we’ll see what happens,” he said.
“The great thing about this season is that everyone plays at great speed. The pace has increased, the playing time has increased, the cramps have increased because the players run more. Finally, there are no more 0-0s. And well done to the referees, who let the game flow, well done Orsato.”
It’s only partly about the players, but even more about allowing them the freedom to alternate freely between 3421 / 4231 / 442, whereas before and during his ManU spell, he kept clinging on to that 3421 structure which made his team really predictable. In Saelemaekers and Pulisic you have the perfect roaming players. They can be LM, SS, CAM, LWB all in the same game. Unfortunately Saele’s end product is very much lacking, but you could see he tore Lecce apart constantly with his great sense of off-the-ball movement

Bez Estupinana molim
A koga bi tu stavio ti Mr. Nono ?
Bartesaghi-ja ? Lik pušta frizura na razdeljak, vjerovatno guzi neku manekenku što mu je vrhunac karijere jer nije napredovao ništa zadnje dvije sezone.
Moreira je bolje rješenje ali on nije nešto puno bolji od Estupiana u obrani. Mislim da će Moreira svudgje igrati po potrebi ali ne često umjesto Estupiana, treba mu dati još šansu iako je to jako rizično znam :)). Ima dečko nekada stvarno dobra utrčavanja, Modrić ga časti sa dugim loptama, samo treba još skužiti šta s njima :))
