Former AC Milan defender Filippo Galli shared his insights on the team’s recent performance following their Europa League defeat to Benfica in an interview with Corriere della Sera. He noted that AC Milan is currently experiencing a difficult phase, characterized by fragility and a lack of confidence, despite being in the process of rebuilding.

He expressed confusion over the manager’s extensive rotation of players, stating that while it’s commendable to involve all players, such frequent changes have led to emerging difficulties and a loss of stability. Galli questioned whether manager Amorim would have enough time to realize his vision, especially as two managers have already departed from Serie A this season.
Regarding Modric's substitution at halftime during the match against Lazio at the Olimpico, Galli hoped the manager explained the decision, suggesting that it could be perceived as a slight without proper communication.
On the matter of AC Milan’s qualifications for the Champions League, Galli stated, "On what they are showing today, no. They first need to find certainties from which to start again. Amorim has focused on a strategy that, for now, has not paid off."
