After the best players, now it’s the turn of the worst players, those least rated and judged by the Gazzetta dello Sport on the second day of Serie A.

Defender Gaspar – Lecce (4)

The judo hold on Thuram is worthy of Paris 2024, but it causes a penalty rather than a medal-worthy ippon: and it’s just the latest of many misses.

Milan full-back Davide Calabria (4)

Nobody helps him, that’s true. But he’s not helping himself either. He suffers in the face of Valeri and Mihaila’s initiatives, and is almost always passed over, useless in the construction.

The other full-back Théo Hernandez (4)

He doesn’t seem to care what’s going on around him. Of course he doesn’t, but his distracted attitude is serious. He makes a lot of mistakes, forgetting Man, who scores just a metre away from him.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek – Milan midfielder (4)

Did he pay for his ticket? We didn’t expect a performance devoid of commitment from him. It’s not a question of position, but of desire.

Forward Noah Okafor – Milan (4)

He had a good ball, took two seconds to shoot and was thwarted. Inzaghi would have scored twice. S’he wants to be a starter, he has to wake up.

Winger Rafael Leao – Milan (4)

The decisive pass? Come on… He should be pulling Milan up, but he’s wandering around. He should be scoring, but he doesn’t, and is responsible for Parma’s 2-1 defeat with an absurd opening.

They also deserve a quote

The other players in difficulty who scored 4.5 are Noslin and Dele-Bashiru (Lazio), Celik and Paredes (Roma) and Livramento (Hellas).
