Do not go to the World Cup again for the third consecutive time would also touch the Football Federation
There is the risk that our qualifying group at the World Cup ended before you start. Let’s prepare for the umpteenth torture of the playoffs, assuming that the second place is anchored. The national team seen yesterday in Oslo was embarrassing and it is legitimate to doubt everything, expect the worst of the worst. We are, and we are scarce, emptied. Indeed, it just empty. Overwhelmed by events, too large weights and a hailstorm of injuries, Luciano Spalletti seems to us to the technical terminus, in confusion. Faced with a disaster of these proportions, the most logical solution would be a radical driving change. Next next, in the hope that the shards of a shattered national team, beaten to the European Championship in 2024 and humiliated yesterday in the rain of Oslo, as rare times, has happened.
Gravina also risks
–
If you go up the pyramid, from Spalletti up, you arrive at the summit, to the federal president. For Gabriele Gravina the same speech on Spalletti is worth. Gravina cannot live indefinitely on the income of the European Championship won in 2021, with two successes to the penalties between semifinals and the final, and we remember it because the victories from the disk, legitimate, do not define with certainty a superiority, reward a skill, specifically the skill of Donnarumma on the penalty. At this point, we remember that Giancarlo Abete, after the elimination from the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, and Carlo Tavecchio, after the defeat against Sweden in the playoff for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, resigned. Gravina has already missed the 2022 world championship and could hit a disastrous bis. For direct access to the 2026 world championship, without going through the Spareggi Streetoia, the situation is already compromised: in case of arrival in the first place, possibility for which it will be mandatory to beat Norway in Italy, the general networks difference will count. And in this respect today Norway and Italy are already divided by an abyss: Haaland and companions are more than 10, we less than 3. Thirteen networks of difference. It is true that Italy has two less games, but it is difficult to imagine that yesterday’s national team, in 180 minutes, can reduce the gap in such a way as to make a game from inside or outside the return of November against the Norwegians. You need a shock, it takes a weird. National emergency, you cannot remain inert.
unprecedented crisis
–
An unprecedented technical crisis, by memory we do not remember such a low level Italy. Mediocrity as a distinctive trait. Spalletti has its faults and responsibilities. He did not enter tune with many players, he struggled, he watched himself with words, lost lucidity. Coaches like Spalletti are halved, in the role of CT, because they cannot work on everyday life. The prolonged ball possession, and yet slow and useless of most of the first half, was emblematic of the defeat, a gigantic manifestation of impotence. We passed the ball without creating outlets, without someone moving for a cut or attacking the depth as it should be. At the first mistake, a change of game wrong by sticks, everything came down. Norway has done of us what we would have done of the thirty-quaranta Norway years ago, sliced us with fast and vertical touches and with dribbling that we are no longer able to perform. To say, they had Antonio Nusa on the left, talented wing of Leipzig, a 20 year old already master in the art of jumping the opponents. We, on the mockery lane, entrusted us to Destiny Udogie, a boy with remarkable athletic qualities, but unable to waste or a fake. It is an example, we do not crucify Udogie, he is not the accused number one.
Re -establish everything
–
The distance duel between Nusa and Udogie photographs what we have become at best, tells us about the responsibilities of our youth sectors. We produce approved players. We no longer take care of the technique, we mimic other people’s dribbles. Thousands of nurseries and technicians of the nurseries did not understand that first the sensitivity of the foot must be trained and then the game capacity, and that the second aspect never works, if the alphabet, the STOP, the Dribbling, the T shooting is missing. The P of passage alone is not enough. Everything must be re -founded. The celebrated technical sector of Coverciano is no longer an excellence. First, however, we face the emergency. We cannot pierce the third world in a row.
