Ruben Amorim gave AC Milan's summer transfer business a 10 out of 10 and said he had the best squad in the world as the club prepared for Sunday's Serie A trip to Juventus. It was a strong public backing of a team that has won its first two league matches and now walks into one of the season's biggest tests with a perfect record intact.
That is why Juventus Vs Milan is drawing so much attention now. AC Milan have beaten Torino and Venezia to start the campaign with two victories, while Juventus have opened with back-to-back shutouts against Frosinone and Parma, making the meeting in Turin a clash between two sides already shaped by early momentum at opposite ends of the pitch.
Amorim's praise was not faint. He said every player AC Milan had brought in was perfect for the team and insisted he would not rate the work an eight or a nine. The club's summer business has also come under sharper focus because the Turin match is its first fixture since the transfer window shut, and because Goncalo Ramos is leading the line after opening his Serie A account on his second appearance in the win over Venezia.
There is, though, a catch in the glow. Amorim also said Milan might be a bit short in attack after the exits of Alvaro Morata and Christopher Nkunku, even as he argued the side could use three rotating players up front. He added that a striker with a profile similar to Christian Pulisic can be useful in certain games, a remark that underlined both his confidence and the thin margin he sees in the squad.
The match could also carry a quiet milestone for Amorim. If Milan beat Juventus, he would become only the fourth manager to win his first three Serie A matches in charge of Milan, a marker that would fit the way he has framed this start: excited, not worried, and convinced the team is ready. For Milan, Sunday is more than a heavyweight fixture in Turin; it is the first real check on whether a perfect opening can survive the loss of two attackers and still look as strong when the schedule stiffens.
