During his opening training session with AC Milan this Monday, manager Ruben Amorim tested Samuel Chukwueze in a different tactical position. The player was positioned on the right flank within a four-man midfield, functioning essentially as a wing-back.
This tactical choice mirrors the specific system Amorim previously utilized for Ivorian player Amad Diallo during his tenure at Manchester United. Chukwueze, who is 27, recently returned from a loan spell at Fulham where he recorded three goals and four assists across 25 appearances.
Amorim has provided the Nigerian winger with a renewed opportunity to prove his worth at the San Siro. To secure a permanent spot in the new manager’s plans, Chukwueze must now successfully master the demands of this unfamiliar tactical assignment.
