Capello: Amorim Getting The Best Out Of Chukwueze At AC Milan

Former England manager Fabio Capello has described Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze as a complete different player after new AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim transformed the Nigerian winger into a dynamic right wing-back.

Recall that he starred with a goal and two assists in a pre-season win over Manchester United and followed it up with an assist and a Man of the Match performance in a 2-1 Serie A opening victory against Torino.

Evaluating AC Milan after the Torino win, Capello stated that Chukwueze looked unrecognizable and vastly improved compared to his performances in previous seasons.

Capello noted that Amorim’s tactical clarity is already shining through, with Chukwueze serving as the prime example of the coach’s ability to revitalize squad members.

“Moving on to AC Milan, however, we’ve already begun to see some of Amorim’s influence, starting with a very intense first half,” Capello wrote as per Livescore.

“The Rossoneri have already shown a desire to implement what their coach asks of them: a game plan, for a real match from the start. Speaking of which, Chukwueze certainly deserves a mention, as he struck me as a completely different player than he was two years ago.”

After a difficult initial period and a loan spell at Fulham, this fresh tactical fit gives Chukwueze the freedom and responsibility to impact the game with late runs, goals, and assists.
