Gravina evaluates two roads: a “block” with the symbols of the blue shirt or an experienced technician. Benitez, Mancini and Mourinho also on the list
Beautiful in the story of the new CT is that you never get bored. Every day a new road opens, while the old one is enriched with shades. Almost a episode TV series. The 2006 suggestion remains in the very early row and Rino Gattuso, in the event, is the chosen one. The idea is to create a ticket with other world champions and Europe: Gigi Buffon and Leo Bonucci. An Italy with a very high blue rate. The parallel route involves more experienced technicians, not necessarily Italian: the Paisà Domenico Tedesco comes into play together with Rafa Benitez, at the always present Roberto Mancini, finally to José Mourinho more for the name than for a project. Gravina takes time to better evaluate the options: the decision could arrive on the weekend or start. Meanwhile, we proceed: yesterday Buffon met Gattuso. For Gigi, Rino is the right ct. And it’s not a little opinion.
Gattuso and the Azzurri
–
That of Gattuso remains the strong candidacy. At the moment it prevails over the former Berlin companions Fabio Cannavaro and Daniele De Rossi. Gattuso responds in full to Federal Entikit: a non -“player” technician, but who sets a team in a few days of training. Little theory, so much practice. The relationship with Buffon is excellent, often they were also companions of the chamber in retreats. The idea would be to recreate a blue group. Gattuso would be joined by Buffon, chief-delegation and representative of President Gravina, and by the “Deb” Bonucci, today in the Corradi Under 20 staff. In the Under 21, to intensify relations with the national team, Andrea Barzagli, another world champion, could enter.
Sense of belonging
–
The meaning of the project is conclated. Buffon has 176 appearances in the national team (first absolute, in twenty -one years), Bonucci 121 (the fourth, thirteen years), Gattuso 73 (ten years). Three symbols. Especially three players who, such as Cannavaro, Maldini, Chiellini, Zoff, have never been touched by the idea of jumping a call, never had a problem before the gathering, they never presented a medical certificate and then playing the Sunday after in the championship. If reconstruction must be, in short, that it begins with the sense of belonging, from the love for the shirt. To those three, it will be enough to look in the face a slightly listless or bored blue to make him a nice speech on the unwritten “rules” of coexistence in the national team and how we won the 2006 and European World Championship 2021. The one who underlined Spalletti after the farewell.
An Italian German
–
In parallel to the world project, the FIGC explores the experience of experience. Yesterday the name of Domenico Tedesco, born in Rossano, took place, ten kilometers from Corigliano Calabro where Gattuso was born. Even German citizenship, German trained Schalke 04, Spartak Moscow, Leipzig. His latest assignment was from CT of Belgium: almost two difficult years, in which he has faced Italy twice in Nations (an equal and a ko, 2-2 and 1-2), up to the January of Journal. The basic system of Belgium was 3-4-2-1, characterized by fast counterattacks and doubles on the bands, but with little aggression.
Other candidates
–
German has not yet been contacted, it is an idea born yesterday. Not the only one. Among the candidates – theoretical – Rafa Benitez, ex Liverpool, Inter, Chelsea, Naples, Real Madrid, stopped, stopped from March 2024, when it has been exonerated by Celta Vigo. Of course, Roberto Mancini remains, always difficult to place but certainly a great connoisseur of the blue environment. Finally, there is the suggestion José Mourinho, unlikely to yesterday’s fixing, but with some sponsors in the federal “area”: however, another year is linked to Fenerbahçe, Turkey, with a contract of ten million apparently distant from the federal figures (Spalletti was under two million). Another ride other race today?
