[Viewpoint] Can t go back, Italian football is "slow death"

Text/Jingpu

How many people think that this 0-3 is because the head coach is "inappropriate in skills and tactics", or to put it another way, who shouldn't play as a three-back, and who can't play as a single midfielder?

Football media, perhaps the smartest group in the world, always knows what to say and what not to say. The "real reason" cannot be said, but it also needs to make up some stories and make the audience accept it. It is a very technical job.

Usually, in this case, "coach's skills and tactics" are the most preferred target, and they are very safe.

However, a person with a normal mind does not need too profound professional knowledge, but only the most common sense of social life is enough to draw a reliable conclusion.

For example, football is indeed a very accidental event. In one or two games, even famous coaches will have improper technical and tactical skills, mistakes in on-the-spot selection and command failures, and unstoppable moves under pressure. These are the norm for people.

However, when the team loses over the years and changes to different coaches, and they are all very trustworthy professionals, it is probably a matter of inevitability, and cannot be handled by skills and tactics.

Norway, there is a high probability that the first game of the Italian World Cup will be a result. There is so much danger. The first group is the first to pass the group and can only think about it. Make a wish to drop a meteorite from the sky and hit the Norwegian team, otherwise it will be the second in the group to play the playoffs, and once you enter the playoffs, you will have to explain it.

In the last two World Cup qualifiers, Italy was in the play-offs. This time, I am afraid that I can also write a eulogy in advance.

If you fail the World Cup qualifiers, you can still scold Ventura for being stupid and having a low level. It is indeed true that you scold Lao Wen. After all, the highest in your life is the only Serie C champion, but Ventura, Mancini, and Spaletti can't handle it. This is not something that can be passed on by "technology and tactics".

You have to admit that Mancini and Spaletti are the best ones in the Italian coaching group at present? Haha hard stuff. The Serie A champion and the European Cup champion are in place. You must have achievements and theory.

In fact, after Italy died in the European Cup last year, the sports prophet pointed out in frustration that the European Cup showed a cruel reality: Italy's true level is already unstable even in Europe's second-rate. Faced with a strong second-rate like Switzerland, they were defeated without much resistance. They could fight and let Italy show "technology and tactics" only teams like Albania that are weak second-rate and third-rate.

As for Norway, it is undoubtedly a tough guy among the second-rate players. After all, Italy cannot come up with famous stars such as Haaland and Odegao. It is the simplest plain truth - it is not strong enough to defeat it. The coach's tactics and strategies cannot make up for the natural gap in the level of the two teams. No matter how excellent coaches fiddled with it, they cannot fiddled with it.

A few days later, the two best coaches of Italy who are currently able to take action, Inzagi and Spaletti, both suffered a blow that could destroy their minds in one battle. Of course, this was not accidental. The two big defeats, the content of the game displayed by both sides on the court was desperate, and they were all set in the first half early, and the players were willing to raise the white flag and accept the reality of the crushing defeat.

Although Inzagi Jr. has reached the highest level of the Champions League final, there are a large number of first-class foreign players in his team - Lautaro, Touram Jr., and Carhanoglu. These are the main frameworks for Inter Milan to achieve results. If it were replaced by the All-American class at Spalletti, I'm afraid there would be no hope for it early, let alone the Champions League final. The summary of Serie A has also been summarizing for more than ten or twenty years. Although it occasionally returns, such as winning 5 Champions League places last year, the overall decline in economic gaps and harsh operating environment make it impossible for it to turn around.

This is not the decline of Italian football, it is the decline of the entire Italy. Italian football cannot be separated from this environment.

What happened to Italy today? The economy has been stagnant for a long time, almost at the same time as Serie A fell from the First League. It has been on the spot since the New Millennium and no longer developed. At the same time, the debt is high, the population is aging, and the gap between the rich and the poor in the north and the south is widening. At the same time, bureaucrats are rampant, party struggles are rampant, political turmoil is endless, and political orders are difficult to implement steadily.

, which corresponds to its international presence becoming weaker and weaker, and it can only rely on "feelings" to survive, just like Serie A now.

Italian national team, Serie A, and Italian football cannot survive alone from such a general environment, so it has become a microcosm of Italy.

Although I only lost the first game, of course, the Italian team's death penalty cannot be immediately sentenced to the World Cup, but you know clearly that there is no chance for the first place in the group, and the play-offs are too bad, and the death penalty is right in front.

Italy, the country of Italy, although it cannot be said to collapse immediately, it is in a process of slow collapse and irreversible.

In other words, die slowly.

This is the most uncomfortable thing.
