BUDAPEST – The National he cheered for Sinneras illustrated by the video recorded in Hungary a few hours before the match Nations League with Israel and sent to the Usa. Shoulder pads explain to Radiorai what is the lesson to learn from the successes of the world number one in tennis: “His ability to always be determined mentally, indestructible in his technical and physical preparation, and to know how to resist the attacks he has received and the nastiness of others. This mental strength of his always makes the difference”.
Spalletti confirms Tonali and launches Bellanova
The coach at the Bozsik Arena will take advantage of the announced turnover: he is preparing to deploy Kean as centre forward and Buongiorno in defence, both to give a breather to those who in Paris with France were exhausted in the pressing (Retegui) or to replace those who were injured (Calafiori and Pellegrini, for the attacking midfielder it is a ballot between Raspadori and Brescianini) and to give an opportunity to the alternatives: on the right, the insertion from the first minute of Bellanova in the place of Change. Tonali, the leader of the midfield at the Parc des Princes, escapes the change.
No controversy with Maignan
Spalletti’s response to Milan’s French goalkeeper Maignan, who, as revealed by L’Equipe after the defeat with the national team, had lashed out at his teammates by theorizing that only two Italians at most could play as starters for France, came a few hours before the match that could lift the Azzurri alone to the top of Group B of League A of the Nations League (at the same time in Brussels, the French are facing Belgium, current leaders with the same points and goal difference as the Azzurri) or perhaps even further distance the Bleus. The coach forcefully dribbles any controversy: “The locker room is a sacred place, where things are said that should not be reported. Certain things are said also to report a concept such as: we are a very strong team. They are and Maignan took the floor, as the leader of the locker room that he is: he wanted to underline that they are a very strong team, that must win these matches. He absolutely did not want to denigrate the Italian team or the Italian players. It is a very normal thing, that we all did in the locker room”.
Spalletti and Brazilian plays
The coach, however, claims the high level of his team: “We have champions everywhere. I have always said, and I will continue to say it as long as I am coach, that I accepted this role because I am convinced that Italy will always generate 20 players to form a strong national team. Then it is clear that at the moment there is a lack, in some roles, of players who fill the eye of observers with a fine palate, because they like the number and the sensational shot. But Dimarco and Tonali did it on the first goal, Retegui and Frattesi on the second, Bastoni and Udogie on the third, with the inclusion of Raspadori: these are all things of strong players. My comment on the absence of thoroughbreds was a reference to symbols such as Del Piero, Totti and Baggio, who we always remember and who we wanted to bring as an example so that some example would take root and someone would take something from them. I would say that there are those who have taken it: certain plays are from Brazilian football”.
Spalletti and the rules of conduct
Would he now repeat the phrases from the eve of the European Championship about the late hours spent playing PlayStation? The question about the need to impose rules of conduct does not affect Spalletti: “I said those things because I made sure that at that moment there was a need. I don’t think I did anything wrong, saying that we need to rest at night. I now see a close-knit group, very balanced. After the match against France the lads remained very calm, without getting too excited: we have to remain very calm: a victory is not enough to put things back in order and make us believe that we are at that level, even if it is a beautiful victory, one of those special ones. There is a path to take, to consolidate it”.
Spalletti and the 3-man defense
The 3-man system is nothing new in Spalletti’s career: he used it profitably during his time at Udinese, after having theorized it in his degree thesis at Coverciano, which Repubblica spoke about with the author Sergio Brescia. The coach explains why he has taken this tactical path again, obviously revised and corrected: “In recent years I have used other systems, but it is more important that the players know the system more than the coach, because then they develop it on the pitch. The concepts must be put in place and the principles must be given, but then it is essential to develop them. Being mentally free to be able to apply them becomes an extremely important quality. I wrote my thesis on the 5-3-2 at Coverciano, but many years have passed. We decided to choose this tactic because the most important players have very specific roles in their clubs, so we put them there so that they find the things they always do”.
Ricci and the comparison with Pizarro
In the aforementioned Udinese the director was Pizarro and the suggestion of the comparison with Ricci just launched in Paris is strong: “Ricci is a talent who can grow: he is good at managing the ball, at freeing himself when he is under pressure from the opponent. He is not like Pizarro yet, but he has the mastery and physicality to reverse the direction of travel, every now and then he changes lane and goes the other way. He also runs where there is a continuous strip”.
