The concept of 'faccia' is linked to 'onore'. Losing face is one of the worst social stigmas. Therefore, 'metterci la faccia' is seen as a very brave and honorable act. In some southern regions, the face is literally seen as the 'mirror of the soul'. A person who 'doesn't put their face' is often considered 'senza faccia' (faceless/shameless). Modern Italian companies are moving away from hierarchy. CEOs now 'ci mettono la faccia' on LinkedIn to seem more approachable and 'human'. After a defeat, fans expect the 'capitano' to 'metterci la faccia'. If only the coach speaks, the players are seen as cowards.
