AC Milan defender Matteo Gabbia has expressed his support for the club's new manager, noting that the squad is working hard to adjust to a new tactical approach. He emphasized that finding the right defensive balance is a primary focus for the coaching staff during this early stage of the season.
The work with Amorim is going well. We are happy with what we are doing, but we also know we need to improve in every aspect. When you change manager, there is always a need for a bit of time. We are trying to shorten that time, and with work and dedication people will see the things we are working on. Matteo Gabbia
Gabbia also addressed his recent physical struggles, confirming that a persistent ankle problem had hindered his progress over the last month and a half. He noted that the recent break in the schedule came at an ideal time, allowing him to fully recover and prepare to return to full fitness.
Reflecting on the team's mindset, the defender highlighted the need for consistency and professionalism. He reiterated that Milan's goal remains to win every single match, regardless of the competition, as the club aims to build on their performance from previous seasons.
