Ahead of the match at the Olimpico stadium, Albertini said: "I really like Alessandro Amorim. But don't ask him to win the Scudetto. The target is the Champions League. As for Lazio, if we start well, everything makes sense..."

Demetrio Albertini's playing career was filled with success. With AC Milan, he won the Serie A five times and the Champions League once, and with Lazio he also won the Coppa Italia. Tomorrow, these two teams will face each other at the Olimpico stadium. The AC Milan team that Albertini played for was once unbeaten, and the Lazio team he played for was also a great side that could bring trophies to Rome. Tomorrow's match will be different in context. Both teams started well, but so far they're still trying to find their full potential.
Demetrio, did you expect Lazio to be first in the league and AC Milan to be chasing from behind?
To be honest, I didn't expect it. It's surprising. But with only three matches played, it's too early to draw conclusions. What happened in Rome surprised me. Because all those difficulties could have completely affected the team, coaching staff, and players, but they didn't seem to.

Gattuso always seeks the most difficult challenges. After his disappointment with the national team, can he restart his managerial career?
Rino understands the situation. He probably didn't expect things to be this complicated. But at the same time, he got the better of it. He got a good result. I'll add something else: the team wasn't affected by external pressures. However, as a former player, it's not easy in certain situations to completely isolate oneself from the outside world. Moreover, the transfer market hasn't helped. But everyone has adapted to the situation and done their best.
On the other hand, Amorim has the support of the fans, but the outside world is asking him to get Champions League qualification. Is that possible?
The difficulties started from the beginning and, unfortunately, this has happened frequently in recent years. Everything is new—the coaches, the players, the tactical ideas—and it will take time. Especially when difficulties may emerge in the future. This project must be supported regardless. I really like Amorim. Ultimately, we're seeing a team that plays more openly and the individual players are developing mentally. It's clear that there are many individually good players on the pitch. This can create some defensive vulnerabilities, but I want to emphasize that he needs support.

Time and patience—will Serie A give him these?
They will have to. Some changes won't be visible within a month. By December, we might be able to see how embedded this new philosophy is in the team. The coaches and players need to learn patience. Competitive matches are needed as never before in this era, and that takes time. Since we can't afford Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, or Kylian Mbappé, we have to build something ourselves. This process requires time and trust.
Inter and Roma are competing for the Serie A title ahead of other teams. Then come AC Milan, Como, Napoli, and Juventus.
So is it too early to talk about AC Milan in relation to the Serie A title?
Their goal must be to return to the Champions League. That alone is difficult enough right now. Currently, six teams are competing for four spots: Inter, Roma, Napoli, Juventus, Como, and AC Milan. Inter and Roma are ahead of the other teams for the Serie A title. AC Milan must at least stay at the top and keep dreaming. The transfer market activity also reflects their ambition for Champions League qualification. In the Europa League, they weren't the favorites to begin with, but they have a chance to make it to the end. European competitions always provide teams with valuable experience.
What do you think of Ramos?
In Venice, he really played as a true central defender, scoring a goal. His movement was excellent and his shot was accurate. He needs the best support to fully demonstrate his value through goals and performances. That's why Ramos is good. But I'd also like to see Camarda.
Should young players be given more opportunities?
I want to see young players promoted more boldly. Amorim has already proven he has this approach. He makes decisions based on merit, not age or established hierarchy—whether a player is young or not. I will give Camarda opportunities. I will give Komoto opportunities. Everyone praises him and he's excellent. Foreign coaches have this culture and find it easier to make certain decisions. In Italy, especially in recent years, it's always been complicated.

If Modrić heard this...
About ten days ago I spoke with him at a match and spent some time together. Amorim does want to increase the intensity of the match. But Luka is in good physical condition, and in this tactical setup he would likely feel more protected and have more support around him. That's why I understand choosing to have Salim Musa next to him. Because they're different types of players.
Lazio's objective
On paper, they're not competing for the Champions League. But what happens on the pitch can give a different answer. If they start well, everything makes sense...
