"Como's coach, Cesc Fabregas, seems to relish becoming a sort of a tough talker when it comes to Milan. It is the view of this writer that coaches commenting on other coaches is somewhat hypocritical. This is especially the case when it comes to tactics. All coaches, defensive and boring or the opposite, have a stubborn streak when it comes their preferred tactics and it should be left to fans and analysts or journalists to discuss their merits publicly not opposing coaches."
"The starting 11 seems to be ever changing, whether to knocks and injuries or less apparent reasons. The midfield had often featured Fofana when many hoped and wanted more minutes for Ricci and Jashari. There seems to be a shift with the latter two now getting more chances. The experience they gain ahead of what is hoped a much busier 2026-2027 season will be beneficial."
Como and Milan have developed a rivalry, intensified by provocative comments and an on-field altercation in which Allegri received a red card after Cesc Fabregas pulled Saelemaekers' jersey. Criticism of opposing coaches' tactical choices is often viewed as hypocritical given that coaches typically hold stubborn tactical preferences. Milan's starting eleven has changed frequently due to knocks, injuries, and selection choices; Ricci and Jashari are now earning more midfield minutes after spells featuring Fofana, gaining experience ahead of a busier 2026–2027 season. Modric will likely decide on next season by summer but will start and mentor when available. Rabiot returns from suspension; Pavlovic has a minor injury with De Winter set to deputise. Nkunku is likely to start while Pulisic and Leao remain below full fitness. Parma remain low-scoring but have won consecutive matches against Bologna and Verona.
