Italy has not woken up

After the usual days filled with Chattermost out of reality, the field arrived and the judgment was much more than merciless, and for a change when we left as holders, we returned home defeated and disappointed. L’ Italia he never found the clue to a game, also because there is no game and clinging to the physical condition, to the heat against the Swiss, it is the pitiful attempt to find an easy way to avoid the reality of one National who failed on all fronts, technical, tactical, physical. Debut against Albaniathe Azzurri have never proposed a game, they have never managed to overturn, or attempt to overturn, a difficult situation and if it can happen against the Spain, at least it is unacceptable to happen against Croatia and Switzerland. Of course you can lose against anyone, but there are many ways to lose and Italy has chosen the worst one, the one you would never expect from the outgoing champion team; in this European a team without personality, without soul, without pride took to the field. Probably the many changes in module and formation have thrown into confusion an existing formation overestimateswith too many people who should have been left at home, after a disastrous season for many and others who seemed like bad copies of themselves. I have already written that Spalletti is an excellent coach, but not a CT as a national team, and one cannot avoid considering him the main culprit of a tournament in which no one understood anything, starting with him and his collaboratorswith the constant changes, but the treacherous insistence on people who could be good for the match bowls on the beach. Now of course nothing will change, because we have lost the federal school that produced it national team coachesvery different from those of the Club, certainly less celebrated, but capable of building worthy formations without complaining about the little time available, adapting to what the championship produced, so much so some people think that Spalletti was he immune to pressure? Now nothing will change also because the material is this and in a couple of days we will start reading about it again top class, phenomena, samples, as if nothing had happened, as if we had solid defenders, midfielders who combine quality and quantity, attackers capable of scoring continuously… and no one put the ball in the back of the net. four games and luckily at least the goalkeeper was from the European championship and not French. The Italia deservedly returns home, very few will make a mea culpa and perhaps they will be the least worse of a group that will have to be reminded that we were excluded from the last two World Cups without having learned anything.
