AC Milan coach Rubén Amorim admitted to concerns about the way his men performed in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at San Siro in their Europa League opener, a display that earned them boos from much of the home crowd.
The Portuguese side prevailed thanks to a powerful long-distance strike by Dodi Lukebakio in the first half and a goal after the break by Jakub Kaminski, who was allowed to latch onto a pass and smash the ball home while Milan's defenders watched.
"It's not just a lack of energy, it's a question of organization, the way we pass the ball around and our understanding the various moments of the game," Amorim told a news conference.
"When you concede a goal, you have to keep the ball, not rush forward without any tactical thinking.
"We lose our identity as soon as we go behind.
"I'm always worried: even if it's just one game we didn't win, or if we win while playing poorly.
"What we have to do is understand that this is football, that we're at the beginning of a journey, and that we have to work hard to win matches".
