Milan Seeking Ways to Properly Ignite Their Attack

Gonçalo Ramos isn’t off to a roaring start in his Serie A career, as he has scored one goal in four games. While he had been wasteful before eventually hitting the net in the previous two rounds, he has received limited feeds in the most recent two, taking just one shot, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

Instead, he had fired 13 against Venezia and Torino. The Portuguese marksman isn’t just a goal poacher, as he likes to track back and interact with his teammates, but his hard work risks coming at the expense of his output.

Milan do not doubt Ramos, as they didn’t think twice when PSG asked for about €70M for him. They obviously need him to fill his boots to justify the massive outlay. Rather than working directly on him, Ruben Amorim will keep tinkering with the duo supporting him. Alphadjo Cissé has been a bright spot, while his partner has been hit-or-miss.

Christian Pulisic finally got some minutes and picked up an assist in the last match. Instead, Adrien Rabiot and Ruben Loftus-Cheek interpret the role differently. The boss could also test Alexis Saelemaekers, Omari Hutchinson, and Diego Moreira at the position.

Our Take on Milan and Ramos

He’s been more involved than Randal Kolo Muani, but their problems are pretty much the same, as neither is the polar star they need to be for their respective offenses. The problem for other Serie A strikers is that Donyell Malen is keeping an impossible pace and setting expectations that are hard to match for anybody else. Having a muscular ‘trequartista’ isn’t working, but they have an array of technical ones they can try.
