(PRIMASPORT) MILAN AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has expressed great confidence in coach Ruben Amorim and announced an aggressive January transfer window to strengthen the squad with the goal of winning the Scudetto. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport on the eve of the crucial derby against Inter, who are seven points ahead in the standings, Cardinale emphasized the need to improve the team, saying the project is still a quarter of the way through.
“"We need to continue improving the squad because I wasn't able to achieve everything I wanted in the summer. We're rebuilding the team, and while I like the new arrivals, the players who stayed, and the names I let go, it will probably take a couple more transfer windows to complete everything," he said. The owner emphasized the importance of having a squad ready to deal with any injuries and promised continued investment: "In January, we'll continue to be aggressive and opportunistic in the transfer market, and I'll continue to strengthen our bench.".
Regarding coach Amorim, Cardinale said: “I have complete faith in him. I won't abandon Ruben. He's absolutely not in danger. I'll stay by his side. I won't make the same mistakes I've made in recent years. In the days before every match, I call him and ask, 'How can I help you? What do you need?' and he reassures me by saying, 'I'll take care of it.' He's a true professional who helps people grow and is coaching the team well.‘.
Finally, the Rossoneri owner expressed optimism about the Scudetto dream despite the gap to Inter: "It's an absolutely possible goal, one hundred percent. I wake up every morning hoping for a small glimmer of hope, that Inter will start drawing instead of winning and that we'll start putting together a series of victories. Winning is the only thing that matters to me, but let's take it one game at a time, day by day." (PRIMASPORT)
