“Now put football lords like Baggio and Maldini in the federation and invest in the youth sector. I don’t think Gattuso will leave”
The former Viola Francesco Flachi spoke in the aftermath of yet another defeat of the Italian national team, during “Pentasport” on the frequencies of Radio Bruno:
Failure? “The reality is that to improve you have to start from the bottom, that’s where you get to the top. From the youth sectors and from investments even in the amateur field. Instead, these players have their place guaranteed because there are no others. If they’ve already got everything covered, it’s normal for this to be their attitude.”
Solutions? “Putting football gentlemen into the federation, like Baggio And Maldini. People who matter, with a real specific weight. Even in situations last night where the referee made certain decisions. We also matter less on a political level. However, certain figures are annoying to the image, to the visibility that someone in football has gained, to those who put in the money who are jealous.”
Errors and match management? “Yesterday Gattuso made a mistake to remove Keankeeps 2/3 players busy and provides depth. Pious Esposito he’s a more static player, he should have only been placed later in the final.”
Resignation? “Knowing Gattuso I don’t think he’ll leave, the fault always lies with those who go on the pitch first and foremost, they are the ones primarily responsible. Power needs imagination, because nThere’s no 10 anymore in Italy”.
