In the lengthy interview given to La Gazzetta dello Sport, former player Massimo Mauro made the following comments about Ruben Amorim’s Milan and Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus:
“They are impossible to decipher. You think they have solved their problems, and the following week they sink again. You don't know what to say when you see them playing like Milan in the Europa League and Juventus in Cagliari or against Sassuolo. The defeats are already extremely damaging, both because of how many there have been and because of the way they happened. I was at Juventus-Lazio and they looked like a Serie A team playing against a Serie C team. Then, however, there were Juventus-Napoli and the Milan derby...
From the outside, you can say that they are not great teams because they lack consistency: great teams maintain a high level of performance, but they do not. It means that things have been built poorly up to now. Milan perhaps have a few midfielders who offer more quality and quantity, while Juventus have a more solid defensive structure, but the real problem is their unreliability. Every match is impossible to predict.”
