Alphadjo Cissé will get minutes in Wednesday's Perth derby against Inter, another chance to build on the impression he left in the friendly against Celtic, according to MilanNews.
The tour is doing its job for Milan's younger players, and Cissé is the clearest example. His outing in Glasgow showed technical quality, an appetite to influence the game, and confirmation that the injury which sidelined him is behind him.
The attacking midfield positions are crowded at Milan, so a permanent place in the senior setup is not a given. The point of these matches for a teenager like Cissé is different: test himself against strong opposition, absorb what the new coach wants, and prove he can cope with the tempo and physical demands of first-team football.
Against Inter he will look to repeat what stood out in his limited time against Celtic, particularly his ability to receive between the lines and carry the ball towards goal.
Amorim's record backs the case. He has consistently given young players responsibility when he sees the quality and the work ethic to match, and Cissé does not need to force his way straight into the starting line-up to benefit from that. Earning a regular spot in the senior squad would already be a step forward.
The context adds weight to his prospects, too. Before his injury, Cissé was the player keeping Mattia Liberali out of the side at Catanzaro, so the talent is not in question.
From here, the minutes in Perth are his to make count, and it is Amorim who decides how far the door opens.
