Wazza had argued that Spence should remain the regular starter on the right flank even after a negative match, reminding that even players like Hakimi could make mistakes. He hoped that when Spence needed to rest, Luis Henrique would be considered as a substitute: according to Wazza, even if he performed at a "stretched 6," he would not penalize the performance of his nearby teammates. He added that Luis Henrique had effectively been a starter in the team that won the championship the previous year. Wazza instead described Diouf as a wildcard to be used in tight matches, arguing that his anarchic play and influence on the entire right side were more often a negative than a positive factor. #calcio #serieA #tifosi (translated)

Antonio Belloni argued that attributing the responsibilities for the failures of previous seasons to Amorim was pointless and harmful, reminding that the coach arrived in the summer. According to Belloni, he was therefore not responsible for either the decline of Milan or the negative results accumulated in the past. The author wrote that the frustration of the fans did not change what happened on the field and that there were no quick solutions to get Milan back to fighting for the Scudetto. He cited the defensive line set up at the crucial moment of the match: Musah, or alternatively Terraciano, De Winter, Pavlo, in the sixth consecutive full match, and Diawara, who played for Troyes in Ligue 2 the previous season. In his opinion, the defeat should not have caused scandal, considering that Milan was on average Champions for points and had the same as a praised and protected technical guide at the beginning of last season. Belloni acknowledged that in the summer the club had taken excessive risks by building a squad without adequate quality reserves. He added that Amorim had admitted from the early seasonal conferences that the choices would have long-term effects and that it was unrealistic to solve in one session the problems of squads poorly built in previous years. According to the author, Milan was already partially paying the consequences of those risks. He also noted that Fofana and Nkunku were technically superior to many reserves, but he urged to consider that the reasons for their exclusion might not be technical. Finally, Belloni described Milan's journey as winding, with or without Amorim, and warned against those seeking an easy scapegoat by simplifying the situation. #Milan #Amorim #Calcio (translated)

Matthijs_Pog wrote that Juventus' defeat in Genoa was a sign of broader problems within the team, related, in his view, to identity, ambition, and responsibility, not just to the match, the coach, or the squad. He asked John Elkann and the ownership to consider the club as a story and a sporting heritage, arguing that financial sustainability should not justify lower expectations. According to Matthijs_Pog, the club should have equipped itself with a coherent vision and clear responsibilities, instead of reacting to emergencies. He wrote that Luciano Spalletti needed to give the team an identity, but should not be held solely responsible for the problems and should work within an adequate project. He also called on the players to take responsibility associated with wearing the Juventus jersey. The author concluded that Juventus did not have the duty to win all the time, but it needed to know which direction to follow. In his opinion, the club needed a project that restored identity, ambition, and dignity, not nostalgia or mere explanations after failures. #Juventus #calcio #sport (translated)
