Wazza defined the victory of Inter in Bologna as "gigantic." He wrote that, after the match against Brugge, it was not easy to regain focus and that facing a team without commitments in the cups represented a challenge. He added that the absences of Lautaro and Pavard during the week could have had mental and on-field consequences, and that going behind early could have compromised the match. He also recalled that historically, Inter had struggled in Bologna. #BolognaInter #Inter #SerieA #Calcio (translated)

After the announcement of the cabinet's infrastructure plans, which allocate 18 billion euros for maintenance of outdated bridges and roads at the expense of various large projects, there is national frustration and disappointment. #infrastructuur #teleurstelling #kabinet (translated)

Inter coach Cristian Chivu, after the fourth consecutive defeat in the Champions League, listed a number of factors that were poor in his team's performance and approach, but he did not miss the opportunity to praise Leko, believing that Club Brugge adapted better to all situations and punished their mistakes with surgical precision. #LigaPrvaka #ClubBrugge #IvanLeko (translated)

Ivan Leko achieved a historic victory against Inter in the Champions League with Belgian club Club Brugge, winning 4:3, while his colleague Valdas Dambrauskas secured his first triumph in the same competition with Sabah, confirming both of their coaching successes on the European stage. #LigaPrvaka #ClubBrugge #IvanLeko (translated)

Joren Vermeersch wrote that he did not view the closure of Starlink for Ukrainian drone operations on Ukrainian territory as a lever to make Ukraine stop attacking Russian refineries. According to him, Ukraine had already unilaterally halted those attacks at Trump's request. Vermeersch suspected that Trump might want to force Ukraine to withdraw from the non-occupied parts of the Donetsk province and hand them over to Russia. He derived this from Trump's statements that Zelensky did not want to reach an agreement and that Putin was more focused on an agreement than Zelensky. According to Vermeersch, Trump seemed to think that Putin would be willing to negotiate a ceasefire after such a Ukrainian concession. He described that expectation as dangerous wishful thinking and pointed out that, in his view, Putin also claimed the non-conquered parts of Zaporizhia and Kherson. According to Vermeersch, Russia had constitutionally annexed those provinces; the claimed areas also included both provincial capitals. A Russian presence there would give Russia, according to him, a foothold on the right bank of the Dnipro in two places, in view of a possible third phase of the conquest war. As the main obstacle to a ceasefire, Vermeersch mentioned Putin's demand that Ukraine unilaterally disarm and demilitarize. According to him, that would amount to capitulation and certainly provoke a new invasion. He wrote that Putin had repeated that demand in every diplomatic round, including during the last round in Moscow the month before, with Witkoff and Kuchner. Vermeersch believed that Trump was wrongly thinking that Putin did not take that demand seriously. Vermeersch argued that Ukraine could not afford dangerous wishful thinking, as it was fighting for the survival of its society, people, and state. Because Putin continued to insist on unconditional capitulation, Ukraine was forced to keep defending itself. He wrote that it would continue to do so until it achieved a ceasefire that left it free in the part of the country it had successfully defended. #Oekraïne #Rusland #Vrede (translated)

Nicolò Tresoldi, a 22-year-old Italian forward who plays for Club Brugge, scored a hat-trick against Inter in the Champions League, sparking interest in a possible call-up for the Italian national team, even though he currently plays for the German youth teams. #NicolòTresoldi #Calcio #ChampionsLeague (translated)

Wazza argued that the team should have maintained a distance of 30 meters instead of stretching out to 50, and that at 1-1 they were not playing so poorly as to warrant talk of disaster. He added that a continuous comeback required physical and mental energies that were difficult to find, while deeming the collapse that followed a serious error unjustifiable. According to Wazza, every defense became vulnerable when it was too exposed, especially with a high center of gravity and without a player assigned to protect it. He criticized the use of inverted wingers in the 3-5-2 formation: he praised Diouf for his work in the last 20 meters and for his commitment, but linked his exposure and Spence's error— which he called unjustifiable— to being in the wrong position on the flank. He noted that the caution shown first by Dumfries and then by Luis Henrique perhaps reduced offensive production, but guaranteed vital balance. In his view, Spence would earn his place once he reached full fitness. Wazza identified Calhanoglu, Sucic, and Miky as the three midfielders who provided balance to the team. He recalled that Miky was 37 years old and could not always be the protagonist, but that no one else in the squad had his characteristics: for this reason, he believed the others should be prepared for a more cautious setup when Miky was unavailable. Finally, he said that for him, the home defeats against Bodo and Brugge hurt more than a final loss and called for Chivu to remain at Inter, to be allowed to make mistakes and grow. He described the coach's choice as a gamble already rewarded with two trophies, adding that the responsibilities for the mistakes also lay with the tactician Cecchi and the players, whose serious individual errors had directed the match towards disaster. #Calcio #Inter #Tattica (translated)
