Among the talking points was Chukwueze, who has been tasked with a demanding new role covering the entire right flank rather than operating purely as an out-and-out attacker.

“This is the first year that Chukwueze has been playing on the wing [up and down the whole flank],” Tassotti noted, reflecting on the tactical demands placed on the Nigerian.

While acknowledging the raw attacking potential and flashes of brilliance the winger has shown, the Milan icon pointed out the natural teething problems that come with a major positional transition.

“I’ve seen him do some good things, and others less so, with Milan finding themselves unbalanced in some dangerous situations.”

As Amorim continues to fine-tune his tactical setup at San Siro, Chukwueze’s ability to balance defensive discipline with his trademark explosiveness on the flank will be vital for Milan’s ambitions this season.
