Azzurri welcomed like this, complete humiliation – Libero Quotidiano

The National Of Luciano Spalletti had left for Germany escorted by crowds and, upon arrival in North Rhine, in the retreat of Iserlohnhad been welcomed by an authentic ovation from the Azzurri fansmany of whom emigrated to Germany to work and wanted to celebrate a bit of patriotic love, where in 2006 we had managed to silence the hosts. The sad return, however, recorded the most disheartening desert. The bitter disappointment for a tournament played badly and finished too soon unleashed indifference and the team, between the stopover in Milan, at theMalpensa airportand the definitive one in Rome, he experienced loneliness, the real one.

This is how the FIGC president sees himself, Gabriele Gravinaget into the car grimly and lower your gaze, to send the last message before leaving. Shortly before leaving Germany, the press conference in which he had admitted the failure and confirmed the technical commissioner: “We are sorry for not having been able to give all the Italian fans the joy they deserve, for not having touched with our own hands the character of our Italianness in reacting to some limits that we have always highlighted. It is a reflection that yesterday I, the coach and Gigi Buffon we did with the whole team, a disappointment that the boys shared with us. I had a long chat with Spalletti, you can’t think of abandoning a project that’s only eight months old: something needs to change and review in terms of approach. We are building a multi-year project in which Spalletti is central: he has had little opportunity to use the players. We must continue to work, Spalletti has our trust.”

No less disappointed, for his part, is the coach who only 12 months ago gave the city of Naples a historic Scudetto, awaited for 33 years: “I tried to rejuvenate the team a bit and since I’m staying here this will be done even more in the future . I did something wrong and I am primarily responsible, we were unable to grow in this mini-journey. We went back to zero after the defeat against Switzerland, but I know what to do.”
