Luciano Spalletti’s Unique Approach: Relying on Telepathy and Italian Soccer Legends for Euro 2021

It is inevitable that after the beauty contest, a little (a lot) of Naples still remains in Spalletti. Naples is the city of fantasy, but also of telepathy and above all Eduardo who gave in “Natale in casa Cupiello” the funniest and most important explanation: “Telepathy means when I don’t knock and you open the door”.

In a little more than a month, in Germany, the coach will try in every way to open the opponent’s goal: not being able to count on main attackers, he decided to rely on the spread of thought dedicating it to the most important players in our recent history. Yesterday he explained like this: “I would like to bring four World Cup 10s, Baggio, Del Piero, Totti and Antognoni to Coverciano, when we meet to prepare for the European Championships. I have already discussed it with Gravina. Imagine if those 40 were present at one of our training sessions: it would put pressure on the boys to increase their performance”.

Spalletti does not neglect details and it is a proliferation of even strange ideasfor which the Federation, well aware of the end result, took immediate action, getting the first yes. From Bell’Antogno. The response from enthusiasts was surprising: in a few hours we received hundreds of messages, even radio and TV “welcome” on the recommendation of the enthusiastic technician.

It’s just missing – but will it turn out? – the disappointment of the Antidieci, the enemies of the stylish attacking midfielders, great champions admired and imitated all over the world, considered – by the late – as the forerunner of Gioco players. Actually those forty are selected by Spalletti, who are already the calibrators of the best Italian football, the Masters to study and reportbringing his skill and soul back to the plains of the planet.
