Amorim Tests Chukwueze as Wing-Back in AC Milan’s New Tactical Setup

Amorim Tests Chukwueze as Wing-Back in AC Milan’s New Tactical Setup

AC Milan’s new manager has shifted Samuel Chukwueze into a right wing-back role during the first pre-season session at Milanello. The Nigeria international trained in a deeper midfield position rather than his usual attacking flank spot. This tactical tweak mirrors the system the coach favoured at Manchester United, where he used a similar approach with another winger. Chukwueze will now need to balance defensive duties with his trademark runs and crosses down the line. Last season, the 27-year-old featured for Fulham on loan, scoring three goals and supplying four assists in the Premier League. The new assignment will test his adaptability as he settles into the Serie A campaign.

Do you think Chukwueze's shift to wing-back will improve his overall performance or limit his attacking prowess?

I'm all for it—it could sharpen his defensive side and still let him zip past defenders.

Note Amorim instantly tried Chukwueze deeper rather than on the wing, even though he's always excelled in advanced positions.

True, shifting him centrally might tap different qualities even if he thrives higher up front.

While a wing-back role adds defensive cover, it might underutilize Chukwueze's pace and creativity down the flank.

It might help him adapt better if he spends a few sessions focusing on overlapping runs and one-on-one defending drills.
