BERLIN (Germany) – An unconditional surrender, a bitter and indigestible elimination. Italy exits the European Championships with its head down, and Fabio Capello does not spare the coach Luciano Spalletti. “At a tactical level we changed but without seeing anything – highlights the former England national team coach to Sky Sport – I saw one team scattered across the field. Spalletti had some ideas and thought he would play in a certain way but he overvalued the rose where quality and dynamism were lacking. But do you think this national team has any qualities? Capello commented, asking Fabio Caressa and Beppe Bergomi”.
Capello, the attack on Spalletti
The former Milan, Roma and Real Madrid coach continues to analyze the match lost against the Swiss. “On pressing there was no movement or technique to win the ball back – highlights Capello – tactically we tried everything but we didn’t see anything. They just went to compress spaces and that’s it. There is no quality. The team made too many tactical errors, Fagioli was there like a fish out of water. Why did the players never change sides? Because they obviously didn’t see the game and so they limited themselves to passing six or seven meters away. When we leave the game to a team that attacks and restarts like today and you don’t recover, but where do you want to go?”
