One of the hottest and most anticipated topics in the post‑match discussion of the big match between Juventus and Milan was the lackluster performance of the two centre‑forwards.

During the DAZN broadcast, journalist Andrea Marinozzi focused on the displays of Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani, who arrived in the summer with massive financial investments (€74 million plus bonuses for the Portuguese and €50 million total for the Frenchman), expressing strong disappointment with the performance offered by both attacking units.

In his live commentary on the draw at the Allianz Stadium, Marinozzi unequivocally rejected the play of the two number nines, highlighting the lack of clarity in handling key balls and the excellent guarding by the opposing defenders:

"Ramos‑Kolo Muani duel? What a disappointment. Kolo Muani, badly: even though he had more chances to link up with teammates, he made too many mistakes. He was too hasty and in the hold‑up play he struggled to protect the ball. Gonçalo Ramos did not receive the same supply as the first two outings, but he also did not handle the few balls played with his usual cleanliness. Normally, when they serve him, the ball comes back clean. This time no, Bremer contained him very well. From both attackers a different impact was expected."

A start below expectations for the two summer signings

Marinozzi's examination shows that both Gonçalo Ramos and Kolo Muani still need time to integrate best into the tactical mechanisms of their respective coaches. The hope for Milan and Juventus is that the two millionaire strikers can soon regain a brilliant condition and the cynicism under the goal to repay the huge amounts invested by the clubs on the market.
