Stefano Impallomeni, journalist and former footballer, commented on the themes of the day during “Maracanà”, broadcast on TMW Radio. These are his words:
A responsibility that Spalletti has?
“In your gut, you would say ‘But why don’t you go home?’, but then you reflect and I have doubts. I’ve heard all kinds of things, but attacking Gravina and Spalletti is a useless exercise. But I say that the communication was wrong from the start. ‘beginning to the end. If the protagonists had told it differently, the early release would have been different. Are we strong or not? And it’s not the fault of the press or of those who tell the story, but of the protagonists who said certain things. Communication was the precursor to failure. I ask myself this question: are ours so poor because there are too many foreigners or are there too many foreigners because our system has been wrong for a long time, but we no longer have phenomena we must also ask ourselves about Spalletti’s role in management. He has become a generator of chaos, but we must be careful with communication. I don’t know if the flop is due to a physical flop, but I’m afraid there’s something else I’ll say something else.”
Is a Scudetto-winning Juventus being born?
“Things are getting interesting, he’s at least trying. You don’t have the certainty that Inter can repeat the extraordinary season they just had, you have to try and be ready. Giuntoli is a guarantee on the market, then there’s also Thiago Motta…”.
De Paola talks about Spalletti as a terrible coach:
“It seems too bad to me. I would give it a 5, it was a generator of confusion, nervousness, in the press conference. We needed to tell this national team differently, and we would have faced the matter in a less harsh way. We discovered that Switzerland is stronger than us , more should have been done for me.”
Spalletti confirmed, but what if he had to identify another coach today?
“I am in favor of moving forward with him, but he must understand that it is a different job to that of a club coach. He must be a selector and have a keen sense of sensitivity to manage something like this.”
