Fabrizio Biasin, an Italian journalist, expressed his thoughts on Milan in his editorial for Tuttomercatoweb.com:
"Milan was overwhelmed by Liverpool far beyond the 1-3 final score. And it's not so much a question of individual performances, but rather of tactical setup. So far, Milan has handed itself over to its opponents, with the exception of the match against Venezia, which, however, managed to perform tactically even worse. A team can have the strongest players in the world, but if it chooses such a risky approach, it is destined to fall, even against theoretically weaker opponents. Let alone against this Liverpool."
"Yesterday, within a few hours, Juve played a great match, but Milan certainly did not. And Juve is led by a coach who, with a bit more initiative, could have been Milan’s. This is the greatest achievement of Juve’s management and the biggest failure of Milan’s."
"PS/1: Watch out for Allegri."
The journalist continued to discuss Milan, focusing on Zlatan Ibrahimovic...
"PS/2: 'When the lion goes away, the kittens come closer; when the lion returns, the cats disappear—and I’m not referring to the team. I always work, I’m always present. I went away for a few days only for personal reasons. The role is simple: I’m in charge, I’m the boss, and the others work for me.' This is what Ibrahimovic said before the match: strategically a wrong choice (if you must, do it post-match after weighing the result), formally even worse. Milan is not a platform to indulge one's ego; it needs action right now, certainly not slogans."
