“The European Championship? It wasn’t the usual Italy. We expected a more dynamic, aggressive Italy. From the outside, however, the impression is that there was little. However, I am convinced that Spalletti with his technical and management skills will be able to bring out the best”. This is what Domenico Di Carlo told TuttoMercatoWeb.com.
Are there no technical resources?
“No. The boys gave their all but their team spirit wasn’t at its best and you pay for that on the pitch.”
So it’s not a problem of human material…
“Obviously not, the players are there. Spalletti will have to be good at finding new motivations, new lifeblood. And we mustn’t throw away everything that has been done so far.”
What will Serie A be like next year?
“Inter will start as favorites again this year. They kept Inzaghi even when things weren’t going well. Juve with Thiago Motta will find new motivations and a new way of working. Napoli will have to be the surprise of the championship, I’m convinced that after a tournament that wasn’t up to par they will want to redeem themselves.”
Hey B?
“After the relegation, Sassuolo will certainly be one of the favorites together with Palermo who last year did not give continuity and this year will fill the gaps: they have taken a coach like Dionisi who is experienced and prepared. I hope that Sampdoria can do better than last year. As a Ciociaro I am sorry for the relegation of Frosinone, Stirpe and Angelozzi are two important men of football and I hope they return to Serie A immediately. Pisa has taken Inzaghi, a winning coach. And Cremonese will have to try to win the championship. I am curious to see Mantova, I hope they can take a strong striker”.
And you mister? Why didn’t you stay at SPAL?
“I had waited for SPAL. Then I was told that there had been some changes. The work done was important, it wasn’t easy. But if the president decides not to continue, nothing can be done. It’s a shame, because we had laid the foundations and the right spirit, a soul, had been created”
