The former coach analyzes the 10-3 overall that involved the Italians in the Champions League: “Chivu, why Dimarco on the bench? Maybe he prefers to focus only on the championship… Juve leaves the field when Bremer leaves, and Palladino hasn’t adapted to Dortmund. It will be tough for everyone”
Italian football’s response to the frequent criticism of the system can be summed up in one score. Devastating, merciless, clear: 10 to 3. Like the sum of the goals conceded by Inter, Juve and Atalanta in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs against Bodo Glimt, Galatasaray and Borussia Dortmund respectively and those scored by the teams in our championship still involved in the big cup. Three results that confirm how the level of the Italians in Europe is far from the golden period that has passed for decades, moreover against opponents (aside from the Goddess) who are more than within reach. “After all, when I coached, the champions rushed to come to Italy while today they rush to leave” Fabio Capello bitterly analyzes.
