In its analysis of yesterday afternoon’s Lazio-Milan match at the Stadio Olimpico, which ended 2-2, La Gazzetta dello Sport uses both the carrot and the stick when assessing the Rossoneri. On the one hand, it praises head coach Ruben Amorim for recognising his team selection errors at half-time, making three changes and thereby getting his side back on track; on the other, it points out that, in this way, it will be difficult for Milan to get anything good out of this season.
La Gazzetta dello Sport’s overall headline on the match reads: “Moreira is there, Milan do not collapse.” The newspaper then continues: “Lazio dominate for a half, Amorim changes everything. The comeback belongs to the Belgian.” It then gives the assessment of Milan cited at the beginning of the article: “On the brink of sinking, the Diavolo coach realises he got it wrong: in this way, however, it is difficult to aim high.” The subheadline completes the account of the match: “Gattuso gets away, while the Portuguese coach takes off Modric, Loftus-Cheek and Estupinan, and turns the game around. The former Strasbourg player comes on and scores twice, with the Biancocelesti moving clear at the top with the draw.”
