Milan boss Amorim wary of Venezia threat
Ruben Amorim believes his San Siro debut with AC Milan will be a "special day", but is wary of the threat posed by Venezia.
Amorim started his tenure at Milan with a 2-1 win over Torino last time out, as Adrien Rabiot starred with a goal and an assist.
Only eight Milan managers have won their first two Serie A matches after making their debut at the start of the season; of these, only two have done so in the three-points-for-a-win era: Alberto Zaccheroni in 1998 and Filippo Inzaghi in 2014.
Milan lost its first home game of last season's Serie A campaign, ending a run of 11 consecutive wins and one draw, and Amorim believes facing Venezia is no easy task.
"I think it's going to be a special day for me as a coach. I'm going to feel the responsibility; I'm going to be focused on the game," he said. "But I will try to enjoy the moment where I feel the game for the first time in San Siro.
"I expect a very difficult match. If you watch the game against Lecce, if you just see the result, you don't understand what sort of team Venezia is.
"They will have the ball, San Siro will be a little bit nervous because they are really good at having the ball.
"We need to be really smart, we need to be really humble in the way we press, in the way we run, because we are going to have to run, and we need to be really strong with the ball because they will mark us man to man, especially at the beginning."
