Milan coach Ruben Amorim says rebuilding will take time ahead of Inter derby

Milan coach Ruben Amorim held a pre-match press conference at Milanello ahead of the derby against Inter at San Siro. The match is scheduled for tomorrow at 20:45 and is the tenth round of Serie A.

Amorim said the club is in a full rebuilding phase and is trying to launch young players such as Cisse. He stressed that solid foundations cannot be built while dealing with problems mid-season.

“We have zero envy for Chivu, we are already in the right place, that is Milan and not Inter.”

The coach acknowledged that time is inevitable and necessary for the team to grow and improve. He added that beautiful things take time to find the perfect balance and deliver results.

Amorim said he feels no envy toward Inter coach Chivu and is already in the right place at Milan. He admitted he is not naive and knows that winning matches is required to earn the time needed to build something lasting.

Regarding the derby atmosphere, Amorim compared it to matches in Manchester and Lisbon. He said the rivalry is unique because two major clubs share the same city and stadium, calling the context truly special.

The coach admitted the pain of the recent surprise loss to Bologna still burns. He told supporters they must be extremely clear that time will be needed.

Gerry Cardinale was also present at the press conference, and Amorim expressed appreciation for his support.
