MiTi reporter criticized Ranieri: You can reject the national team, but you should make it clear earlier

June 11: Ranieri has previously made a public statement and confirmed that he refuses to coach the Italian national team. Arianna Ravelli, a reporter from the Milan Sports Daily, published a long article criticizing Ranieri's behavior.

The original text is excerpted as follows

"Ranieli, it is not impossible to reject the national team, but acting like this is Italy's loss. The decision to not want to coach should have been made clear earlier. However, now in this way, from players to fans, all the collective sense of honor for the national team has been lost."

"Why is Italy on the verge of missing the World Cup three times? Obviously, there are countless reasons on the technical level. We can start from the youth training system and discuss the lack of space for Italian young players, just like every time they are on the abyss, analyze all the clichés again. However, the deeper reason may be that we must face it thoroughly: that is, football itself is no longer so important. At least, it is not important enough. This is true for players, clubs, coaches and even fans.

" Let's talk about Ranieli now. The premise is: when choosing a personal career and life future, it will always have his legitimacy. Therefore, Ranieri finally confirmed that he had already informed Roma of his decision to no longer serve as coach, which was completely reasonable. But the problem is that he should have made it clear immediately. With his experience, it is impossible not to understand the critical situation in which the national team is located and the damage his repeated efforts to the entire Italian football. Similarly, the position of the owners of Rome is understandable: they signed a well-treated consultant contract with Ranieri and signed a contract with new coach Gasperini, so they naturally have the right to raise objections. But the key is that these objections should have been expressed clearly and in a timely manner.

Authentic, after Italy's crushing defeat in Norway, the situation took a sharp turn. But the Italian Football Association was convinced that it had Ranieri's approval and began to deal with the matter of Spaletti's dismissal, which might be handled in a different way. There is no doubt that Italian football could have avoided such a deadlock. This not only damages the image, but also breaks the difficult situation. "

" Even Ranieri's way of handling this matter is confusing, and it is incompatible with his elegant gentleman in his seventies: Such a major decision was told to the Chairman of the Football Association through WhatsApp? This is a very real way for a young man who lacks courage and breaks up with his girlfriend. ”

"No matter what, what should I do now? There is not much time left. Even Guardiola, or the best coach in the world, is difficult to make your own tactical mark in just a few games (and life and death) without time familiarity and training players. Italy's top priority is to find a coach with a more leadership temperament, someone who can inspire the team's fighting spirit and maximize the potential of a team that has no superstars but will not be reduced to the level of the recent games. The direct promotion is already slim, but the goal of breaking through the playoffs cannot be missed. ”
