Capello pointed out that the coach's role is to prepare and make tactical decisions, but ultimately, it's the players who are responsible for scoring goals. He also mentioned that the standard of football in Italy has declined, noting a lack of top-quality players on the pitch.

The former coach criticized the teams for being overly cautious, especially in the first half, and failing to take risks. He praised the second half for seeing a slight improvement in the game, but still felt that it was not enough to expect a more exciting spectacle.

Capello also questioned the substitution made by AC Milan's coach, Francisco Conceicao, which he felt was puzzling.
