NGAC Milan's head coach Ruben Amorim has explained his decision to deploy Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze as a wing-back this season, emphasizing that the move is based on Chukwueze's work ethic and mental strength rather than his defensive abilities. Amorim has adopted a three-four-two-one formation and has been using Chukwueze in the wing-back role during pre-season training, which differs from his traditional role as an attacker. This has raised some fan concerns regarding his defensive capabilities. During a press conference, Amorim stated that Chukwueze's ability to contribute to the team's ball possession and his improved performance in defense, such as against Manchester United, make him suitable for the role. Amorim noted that Italian football requires a different balance compared to other leagues, where wingers often take on roles similar to full-backs. The club is hopeful that Chukwueze will continue to provide assists while playing in this new position.
