After the euphoria of the 3-1 derby win over Inter, Milan is taking a short break before getting back to work. Rúben Amorim gave the squad both Sunday and Monday off — a well-deserved moment of physical and mental recovery after a high-intensity performance.
Back to Milanello: The Week’s Schedule
The team will resume training on Tuesday at the Milanello Sports Centre. Time is tight: Wednesday is already match-day eve, and on Thursday the Rossoneri take to the pitch for their next Europa League fixture. The calendar shows no mercy, and the Portuguese head coach will need to carefully manage the squad’s energy levels.
Genoa on Sunday, Then the November Break
Following the European engagement, Sunday brings a Serie A clash against Genoa — the final match before the November international break. This will provide the perfect opportunity to take stock of Milan’s start to the season, both domestically and in Europe.
Two games in just a few days represent a crucial test of Milan’s ability to maintain the momentum built in the derby. The break will then allow for calm reflection on what’s worked, what needs improving, and where Amorim’s project is heading.
The Table: Fifth Place, but With Renewed Enthusiasm
The win over Inter also helped Milan gain three points on Napoli, who were beaten 2-0 by Juventus. However, Como also won their match, keeping Milan in fifth place. There’s still work to do, but the energy and confidence rediscovered after the derby are the ideal fuel heading into this final stretch before the break.
The Rossoneri have shown, when firing on all cylinders, that they can beat anyone. The challenge now is to do it consistently, game after game. See you on Thursday for Milan’s European night.
