Pazzini defends Amorim and Modric: “I want to give Milan more time”

Former AC Milan striker Giampaolo Pazzini has defended manager Ruben Amorim and midfielder Luka Modric amid recent criticism. Milan has collected eight points in Serie A so far, but faced pressure following their first defeat of the season against Benfica. Pazzini urged patience for the team, noting that a win against Lecce would put them just two points behind the top three.

Pazzini highlighted that Milan has undergone significant changes, including a new coaching staff and late player arrivals like Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan. He praised Amorim's communication skills and defended Modric's quality and leadership, arguing the veteran midfielder should always be a starter when surrounded by the right supporting players.
