Amorim Keeps Milan Unbeaten With 3-2 Win Over Atalanta

Tactical gains under Amorim could be strained by a demanding schedule that may expose the physical limits of his system.

Overview

Milan beat Atalanta 3-2 at San Siro on Sunday to extend Ruben Amorim’s unbeaten start in Serie A to seven matches.
Gonçalo Ramos scored from the spot, Adrien Rabiot added a goal before halftime and Mario Gila headed a third before Atalanta fought back with strikes from Gianluca Gaetano and Nikola Krstovic.
The win ended a six-game Serie A winless run against Atalanta and lifted Milan to fourth on 15 points in the table.
Opta noted Amorim is only the third Milan coach to begin with seven unbeaten league games, while national papers led by La Gazzetta dello Sport warned his high-intensity system appears to sap energy and lead to second-half drop-offs.
Milan face tight rotation pressures with a Europa League trip to Bournemouth and league games ahead, and the club has held owner-level talks about short-term form that mean fitness and consistency will shape whether the early momentum lasts.
