Italia

[Puma]

Good to see him setting achievable goals that are within his capabilities as a coach: making the squad younger is something he can do without the pressure of actually achieving, qualifying for or winning anything.

WTf? What more does the dude have to do to get fired?
This has been really embarrassing and i cant help but feel like most of it is on spalletti formations have been horrible just like the approach to the game and the squad aint that bad.

Give youth players a shot or make one team of only Italians that can’t be eliminated from serie A

The roster of euros was so pathetic

Again with how good the U20
Did at the WC none of them are actually playing is insane. If they were wearing a Brazilian, Uruguayan or Argentinan jersey all Italian team owners and coaches would give their wives and daughters asses to get even the bench of that team

This fucking piece of shit. Maybe you should ask yourself a few questions if you weren’t able to effectively use 5 players that dominated the league?

Zio, diplomatic as always, came swinging.

Italia, Bergomi: "Quanti errori di Spalletti, fin dalle convocazioni. Non siamo peggio della Svizzera..."

Addetti ai lavori e non, tutti hanno commentato l`uscita dagli Europei dell`Italia dopo la sconfitta contro la Svizzera. Tra questi non poteva mancare il campione.

"We are not like this! Here, there are people who have played in the Champions League Final with Inter, the two from Roma have played in the Europa League Final, Scamacca won it, there's rhythm there! But is Ndoye from Bologna stronger than Chiesa? Is Scamacca less strong than Embolo? You have Donnarumma in goal! It’s the context that doesn’t work, the players were not put in a position to perform. If you call up 10 defenders, you have a three-man defense in mind, man-to-man, sometimes Xhaka was marking Chiesa with courage, but we know how to do that. Today you arrive here and play with Barella on the left-center and he plays better on the right, Darmian as the left-sided center-back, but let him play as the fifth, they needed to be put in their positions. Then Calafiori did well, but Bastoni already does that job and you conditioned him because they are similar. He left out left-footed players like Politano and Orsolini. He could have moved Chiesa to the other side. From the call-ups, I already didn’t understand the choices."

Spalletti can massively fuck off.

Wouldn't take the u20 too seriously. Serbia's u20 team won the world cup back in 2015. Only 1 player out of that team made it as a pro.

then why is real buying all these 18 year olds for 40+ million.

U17 is a joke. If you're big and fast you win. Thats why African teams do so well at it.

If Casadei was from Argentina we would be dropping our whole transfer budget on him. Tho Maybe not... with have Carboni and are like yea... not 1st team ready but want 30m for him.

Bastoni liked a post that was saying that the only one in the right position that game was Sommer.

He's absolutely right, of course. You can see the lack of belief in the Italian players' body language on the pitch. They all knew Spalletti had lost the plot.

Paranoia, moles and 'poison coming from all sides' - inside Italy's awful Euro 2024

This is the story of how Euro 2024's defending champions crashed out of the tournament amid paranoia off the pitch and uncertainty on it

"From Albania onwards, the same team never played more than 45 minutes together. There were changes at every half. He used 20 of 23 outfield players. It didn’t matter that the systems Italy deployed had been worked on in the March friendlies and the warm-ups. Every time felt like the first time for new XIs with new partnerships, no chemistry and no patterns of play. Players were given roles that took them out of position. Zaccagni didn’t start against Switzerland even after his goalscoring cameo in the Croatia game. Stephan El Shaarawy did instead. As was the case with Gianluca Mancini, Bryan Cristante and Fagioli, it was his first start of the tournament. And yet Spalletti hooked him at the interval for… Zaccagni."

This sums it up.

Modern day international football is dumb. I would rather Italy lose every game until the end of time than see it packed full of foreigners like France, Holland, Germany and Belgium.

Just out of curiosity, one player is not born in Germany, so how exactly foreigners?

Let's not start this up again, please.

Faaaagoli was better than crustante though
Marginly but still better.


Spagbol really fucked things up.
I'm surprised he's still got a job, he should of been bitchslapped back to the vineyards.

you guys are the mob... why isnt this snitch getting buried

Worst Germany in 50 years looks pretty FIng strong now with a better coach. Issue is only top Italian coach that turn the NT around is at Real Madrid and isnt leaving.

 

[Nerazzurri_Ninja]

When can Tonali be back with national team, he is needed over the likes of fagioli,cristante,jorghino

I hear italy gona go through major revitalization with the likes of our own casadei and fabbian getting opportunities

If you look at most western countries, there is a demographic problem with regards to age. Italy's average is 48 (one of the oldest nations in the world). That means half the people are older than that. Most western nations just aren't having kids that's why they rely on first gen/second gen immigrants.

If you want a large talent pool, you need a large pool of young players in the grassroots. For an aging country like Italy, that pool will get smaller and smaller every year. Other western nations have made this up by using younger immigrants or children of immigrants.

I hate to be nitpicky but that is not how averages work

Assuming a bellcurve distribution, yes it is.
