After deep introspection, I have realized what I did to football Twitter was wrong. I should not have asked that men should not use words like “obough” for banter simply because it reduces women. To all the men who felt offended, I sincerely, deeply say una PAPA! Do your worst.

🗣️ Spalletti on Locatelli's missed penalty: "He came up to me and said, “Coach, I’ll take the penalty.” I asked him if he felt confident taking it, and if he did, then it was his to take. There were two or three others willing to step up, but he’s our designated penalty taker and had taken the last one as well. There had already been a similar situation before where he was given that responsibility, so we stuck with that decision. "That’s the rule, and it’s fine—penalties can be missed. It’s human, it’s part of football. Of course, when a penalty is missed, people will talk, and naturally we’re disappointed not to have won the match."
