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)
