According to The Gazzetta dello Sport, Roberto Mancini at the end of the dull draw against Northern Ireland, he was furious at the team’s attitude. He felt betrayed and he is right to think so. “First of all, there was a lack of fury and pride” writes the rosea, underlining how the Northern Irishmen wanted the point of honor more than Italy for the pass to Qatar. Obviously, the coach also has his responsibilities, above all he failed to intercept the post-European decline, but now the absence from a World Cup for 12 years must be avoided, not an Apocalypse, even if it would look a lot like us.
