Speaker A

Diego Moreira in Amorim's Milan. I'll show you an image right away and give you a little riddle. He is Diego Moreira, looking back at his own goalkeeper, with his back to the attacking third. And what would you expect a player to do in that situation?

Speaker A

? I'll let you think about that, this is just a little teaser. We'll get to it later in the video, and I'd like you to ask yourselves: "Luca, he plays for Strasbourg, he’s not exactly a household name, right?" Maybe he is, he

I'll let you think about that. This is just a little teaser. We'll get to it later in the video, and I'd like you to ask yourselves: "Luca, he plays for Strasbourg, he’s not exactly a household name, right?"

Speaker A

like to get to seven to give a minimally structured opinion on a player, or at least I try to. So I hope you ask yourselves that question; however, I had already analyzed Diego Moreira, so I already had notes on him.

Speaker A

Maybe he is. He even played in the World Cup, but usually, you watch the games. I hope you ask yourselves that question because I promise you, I never make a video without watching the matches, at least five of them, at least. I usually

Speaker A

some enthusiasm in talking about this player, just as there was in talking about him for, let's say, much less time there at the Corriere (I had less time to express myself, but it was there too). I had suggested to Roma to

Speaker A

like to get to seven to give a minimally structured opinion on a player, or at least I try to. So I hope you ask yourselves that question; however, I had already analyzed Diego Moreira, so I already had notes on him.

Speaker A

, because tactically it is essential to place him correctly, as he comes from a very well-structured team. We have seen that Amorim has already set his Milan in the direction of Amorim's style.

Speaker A

Why? Because the Corriere dello Sport, maybe a month ago, asked me and Michele Danese to do an in-depth video on three wingers for Gasperini's Roma, and we divided them up. I got Diego Moreira, and he really excited me. So there is

Speaker A

predictable. Amorim is heading in that direction. Diego Moreira, how and where does he fit into Amorim's football? I invite you to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already; you'll be giving me incredible support, and you can continue watching the analyses I

Speaker A

some enthusiasm in talking about this player, just as there was in talking about him for, let's say, much less time there at the Corriere (I had less time to express myself, but it was there too). I had suggested to Roma to

Speaker A

so much and it helps me out. Enough chatter, let's move on to a little something I jotted down. I wrote down something I wanted to read to you, let's say, a bit playful, but it's not really, because I think it reflects the

Speaker A

sign him instead of Summerville or Carnacio, because for me he could really raise the bar, and so I remain consistent in saying that he is definitely a player who can give a lot to Milan, but we have to understand how

Speaker A

He glares. I noted it in quotation marks; every now and then I note these things down. In Rome, "glaring" means staring down a teammate. In this case, as if to say, "Hey, next time, I came toward you, I made the right move, I

Speaker A

because tactically it is essential to place him correctly, as he comes from a very well-structured team. We have seen that Amorim has already set his Milan in the direction of Amorim's style.

Speaker A

what kind of footballer Diego Moreira is. So, we have to start with Strasbourg and with the fact that, as you see on the tactical board, I've placed him in several areas of the field. Diego Moreira is, first and

Speaker A

Hadn't we already seen it in the introduction video for Amorim? Not because I'm a genius, but simply because coaches are crazy and obsessed and almost never change their minds; therefore, by studying them, their football is quite calculable and

Speaker A

in the 3-4-2-1 just like Milan, he played here, okay? He played on the flank. Much more so on the left, starting from the left rather than starting from the right. When he started on the right, it was maybe a

Speaker A

predictable. Amorim is heading in that direction. Diego Moreira, how and where does he fit into Amorim's football? I invite you to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already; you'll be giving me incredible support, and you can continue watching the analyses I

Speaker A

Rarely do you see a wing-back with their weak foot; we are seeing it now in Milan's preseason with Chukwueze.

Speaker A

bring to the channel. And if you like the video, you can leave a like; if you really like it, you can donate hype to the video. You'd be doing me a huge favor. It's free, but I appreciate it

Speaker A

getting angry at his teammate for not passing the ball, is an associative player, one I would definitely call associative. He is a player, therefore, who touches the ball a lot during a match. Obviously, Strasbourg is a team, was a team, or in any case has been a

Speaker A

so much and it helps me out. Enough chatter, let's move on to a little something I jotted down. I wrote down something I wanted to read to you, let's say, a bit playful, but it's not really, because I think it reflects the

Speaker A

our midfielders, maybe a mezzala who is less inclined to be associative. This shows us a player who knows how to find space well and wants the ball.

Speaker A

player so well. Let's start with this. He comes short and doesn't receive, so he comes toward the ball, but they don't pass it to him. What does he do?

Speaker A

with a teammate, loves to be served out wide. I'll show you some footage now where both on the right and on the left , you know when you're on the football pitch, when you start playing and a coach, well, has his feet on the

Speaker A

He glares. I noted it in quotation marks; every now and then I note these things down. In Rome, "glaring" means staring down a teammate. In this case, as if to say, "Hey, next time, I came toward you, I made the right move, I

Speaker A

player, if he's found out wide and isolated in a one-on-one, he can really , really do damage. He does this on both the right and the left. Both on the right and the left. However, watching one of his matches, you find

Speaker A

did it with the right timing, give it to me." So he observes him, stares at him, and you can really see it in the frame of that match I was watching. And in my opinion, this explains very well

Speaker A

we want to place him in Amorim's Milan. I don't know right now, at this moment, where he can be placed, because Milan, paradoxically, here and here and here, doesn't have a stronger player than Diego Moreira, so right now Diego

Speaker A

what kind of footballer Diego Moreira is. So, we have to start with Strasbourg and with the fact that, as you see on the tactical board, I've placed him in several areas of the field. Diego Moreira is, first and

Speaker A

language, that he's a player who resembles a trequartista more than a winger, a player who can combine in tight spaces with Diego Moreira, a player who can play 1-2 s, a player who knows when to make the run and be

Speaker A

foremost, a versatile player; he's a player who played as a winger in a 4-2-3-1 for Strasbourg, played on the right and left, but also played many matches as a wing-back, that is, in a 3-4-2-1. He didn't play here, in the 4,

Speaker A

out at me is that he rarely thinks backwards. When I said associative, I mean when he takes the responsibility to come towards the ball, to make the move even by anticipating, let's say, his marker, right? So yes, it's not

Speaker A

in the 3-4-2-1 just like Milan, he played here, okay? He played on the flank. Much more so on the left, starting from the left rather than starting from the right. When he started on the right, it was maybe a

Speaker A

When he does it, he thinks forward; he doesn't do it for an easy dump-off, he does it by playing the ball forward or moving the ball quickly, maybe horizontally, but then moving forward himself, continuing his run forward. He

Speaker A

4-2-3-1, meaning he was playing as a pure winger. However, when he played as a wing-back, in my opinion, also because a wing-back tends more toward playing with their strong foot, right?

Speaker A

that's the feeling I got watching him play) that, basically, on that occasion he chooses to let his marker get closer ; he sees his teammate wide out of the corner of his eye and, with his back to his teammate, he serves him the ball.

Speaker A

Rarely do you see a wing-back with their weak foot; we are seeing it now in Milan's preseason with Chukwueze.

Speaker A

the attacking third, not to be that player who takes the responsibility to do something going forward, which could be either driving with the ball or sending the ball forward with a through ball, looking for an inspired pass. Now

Speaker A

We'll see if it's an experiment, if it's something that, let's say, Milan will propose during the year, but generally, when he played as a wing-back, it was on the left. Diego Moreira, because of what I showed you when I read that thing about him

Speaker A

He is very aware of this, and many times he doesn't have any problem taking and receiving the ball from this height, this height, and practically knocking the ball forward. We aren't talking about a Leao; he doesn't run with long strides, he runs with a burst

Speaker A

getting angry at his teammate for not passing the ball, is an associative player, one I would definitely call associative. He is a player, therefore, who touches the ball a lot during a match. Obviously, Strasbourg is a team, was a team, or in any case has been a

Speaker A

that he cuts inside on his left. There, this is something I didn't mention, by the way, sorry, he is left-footed, but he uses both his right and his left.

Speaker A

team in recent years with a lot of personality, and therefore also good at managing the ball. But he has an average number of passes per match that rivals a midfielder in our league, he can even exceed the average of one of

Speaker A

right. I don't just mean that when he plays here on the right he can actually go down the line, he can also go laterally, he can go onto his right. I mean that even in the art of dribbling,

Speaker A

our midfielders, maybe a mezzala who is less inclined to be associative. This shows us a player who knows how to find space well and wants the ball.

Speaker A

then go to shoot with his left. So Diego Moreira in this area of the pitch can go both to the left here and to the right. In this area of the pitch it is exactly the same thing, he can go both

Speaker A

Personality is certainly something this player doesn't lack. However, when we talk about Diego Moreira, we're talking about a player who, despite being very inclined to show himself, to be associative and therefore somewhat prone to exchanging the ball quickly

Speaker A

obviously, like all players; however, while breaking down the flaws, I must eh mention what he does very well, because we said: he can go both right and left, on both sides. He is a player who crosses a lot, he is a player who

Speaker A

with a teammate, loves to be served out wide. I'll show you some footage now where both on the right and on the left, you know when you're on the football pitch, when you start playing and a coach, well, has his feet on the

Speaker A

From here he crosses in a truly divine way, eh, guys. I'll show you too, I was watching this match, he makes a cross, looking now maybe from the screenshots you can't tell, but I assure you. He looks at the player on the back post

Speaker A

touchline, right? He points at you. When I played on the wing, they used to tell me sometimes, "You, Luca, you have to keep your feet on the touchline." He keeps his feet on the touchline and he does it because he's aware that as a

Speaker A

, obviously. Four attempted crosses every 90 minutes is a lot, it really is a lot because in a game imagine four crosses from the same player on average , so there are games where he even does more. Um, the point is that this

Speaker A

player, if he's found out wide and isolated in a one-on-one, he can really, really do damage. He does this on both the right and the left. Both on the right and the left. However, watching one of his matches, you find

Speaker A

heatmaps tell us, which we saw at the start—is a player who thinks very much like a winger, and even like a wing-back, if you like, on some occasions, but has the fundamental trait of being able to easily be a

Speaker A

him in the half-space, you find him here and here, because, as I repeat, he is a player who knows how to recognize time and space and above all knows how to relate to his teammates; and this is a fundamental aspect, in my opinion, if

Speaker A

this player so strong in moving forward , so fast, and so decisive in the final third? Because, when he gets to the final third and can, let's say, get past opponents and reach an excellent position to look for an easy ball for

Speaker A

we want to place him in Amorim's Milan. I don't know right now, at this moment, where he can be placed, because Milan, paradoxically, here and here and here, doesn't have a stronger player than Diego Moreira, so right now Diego

Speaker A

or an Amorim winger? Because, defensive side aside—we’ll get to that—I would opt more for having him go and attack this space that he tends to vacate instead. We saw it with Sissé in these friendlies too. Anyone who watched Milan's friendlies, well, will

Speaker A

Moreira can play here, here, and here. The point is that, wherever he plays, I think it's crucial—if he plays here or here, it's irrelevant at this stage of our analysis—but it's vital that the other player speaks his same

Speaker A

Milan will be. Milan is getting, as we said, a player who perhaps needs to improve his obsession with scoring goals. In fact, he has had more assists than goals in recent seasons. It doesn't surprise me at all because,

Speaker A

language, that he's a player who resembles a trequartista more than a winger, a player who can combine in tight spaces with Diego Moreira, a player who can play 1-2s, a player who knows when to make the run and be

Speaker A

shoots too little with the inside of his foot, sorry, with the inside; this isn't good for a winger with his class.

Speaker A

served by Diego Moreira or be the one to serve him when he makes his forward move, that is, he's a player who needs to be near someone who speaks his same language. When we talk about Diego Moreira, the first thing that jumped

Speaker A

He has a great shot with his laces, though, he has a great shot. He even allows himself to try shots from very far away, precisely because he has a great strike with his laces. A great strike with his laces. It’s a shame,

Speaker A

out at me is that he rarely thinks backwards. When I said associative, I mean when he takes the responsibility to come towards the ball, to make the move even by anticipating, let's say, his marker, right? So yes, it's not

Speaker A

team, certainly helps him from a defensive standpoint as well, because you shouldn't expect a player who snubs the defensive phase. And this, for Milan fans, I think is a fundamental point. Diego Moreira is a player who tracks back. I've seen him play as a

Speaker A

that he isn't marked, he makes the move by anticipating the marker and therefore trying to gain an advantage.

Speaker A

He's very used to picking up his man in the press, which is also a hallmark of Amorim's Milan, so defensively I don't see any issues with Diego Moreira at Milan, quite the opposite. The point is , I'm very curious; I think he'll start

Speaker A

When he does it, he thinks forward; he doesn't do it for an easy dump-off, he does it by playing the ball forward or moving the ball quickly, maybe horizontally, but then moving forward himself, continuing his run forward. He

Speaker A

and occupy the half-space, you lose about 60%of his talents, because he can receive the ball anywhere and leave his mark. One big flaw, a warning to viewers, is that when the level rose— for example, in the World Cup match

Speaker A

is a player who never stands still. When I gave you the riddle at the beginning, and you all probably guessed it, in that moment when he looks the goalkeeper in the eyes, he is so allergic to playing backward (at least

Speaker A

He's a player who struggled to handle one-on-three or one-on-two situations, because he's someone who takes the responsibility to attack even when facing those numerical disadvantages.

Speaker A

that's the feeling I got watching him play) that, ba

Speaker A

trouble at all compared to the average speed of his opponents. I'm not sure how well Diego Moreira will do as a wing-back, because I don't see Bartesaghi or Stupignan as being easily interchangeable with a player like him.

Speaker A

That’s why I was telling you, in my opinion, Milan will need a player who speaks the same language in Diego Moreira's area, but Diego Moreira will be good for Gonzalo Ramos, from my point of view. He sends in many crosses

Speaker A

, he puts a lot of balls into the penalty area after he accelerates, and he also plays vertical balls looking for the play as we’ve seen. So for me , from this point of view, he can be very good for Gonzalo Ramos. I still

Speaker A

have to figure out who can be good for him. I mean, I could see Diego Moreira doing well, for example, starting from here and Pulisic here, but then we have to see if it’s all sustainable with Chukwueze on this side, right, having

Speaker A

Diego Moreira start as a wing-back. This is the fundamental point. I mean, in my opinion, all this revolves around Diego Moreira’s tactical placement, because from what I’ve seen (and you know, I don’t commit to many players, but I like some players and then they

Speaker A

turn out to be not exactly optimal, eh, so my judgment doesn’t mean anything, it counts for nothing), but he excites me as a player to watch in Serie A and as you’ve seen, Diego Moreira’s problems are more tactical, they are

Speaker A

more about maximizing the player, not the player himself, because he knows how to do many things and knows how to do them very well. So we will understand, and obviously I’ll wait for you in the comments to figure it

Speaker A

out together, how a player like this can be best utilized in Amorim’s Milan. Because I repeat: with this role here, you make him lose a little bit of , let’s say, his value, because he’s a player who can really make a

Speaker A

difference when he has space to take on his opponent, but in general to make a decision, because, because he is not a basic player. In the final third of the pitch, in general in the opponent’s half. As always, I thank you for your

Speaker A

support, I’ll wait for you in the comments because I always forget something and sometimes I even get something wrong. So let’s chat there, I send you a big hug and anyway, thanks as always. Right?
