Our country, the one that has most influenced this sport in terms of tactical thinking, is not included in his career. But in a football that calls for projects but lives in emergency, that asks for spectacle but processes risks, that loses talents and then chases them, who could give them the keys?
There are coaches who change teams. And then there are those who change football. Pep Guardiola belongs to the second category. For Fabio Capello it changed him not only for the better but also for the worse, due to the countless attempts at imitation that, like Settimana Enigmistica, Pep can boast: but naturally it is difficult to blame him. On the other hand, even copying requires intelligence. Now that, after his farewell to Manchester City, he stops to take a break again, who knows how long (and who knows whether he might start going to the cinema with Jurgen Klopp, the other baby pensioner from the benches), the question, a little rhetorical and a little tinged with melancholy, is: why not Italy? It would be a spectacle, an injection of energy. For the national team. For a big club. For a revolution.
