Marco Bucciantinijournalist and commentator Sky Sportsanalyzed the defeat of the Italian national team against Switzerland to the microphones of the satellite broadcaster. These are his statements: “If you don’t change, the defects will repeat themselves, you have to look at yesterday’s picture. It has more value than the defeat against Sweden, where you could also attribute it to a somewhat strange management of the coach, of that moment and of those men. It is more important than the victory of the European Championship, which has become casual over the years. It is more important than the defeat against Macedonia, because that match penalized us beyond measure, we are superior, we showed it and we have shown it recently too. We were not superior to Switzerland, neither in the group that eliminated us from the World Cup, nor yesterday where they humiliated us. This is truly the picture of the value of the national team, which for me is not the value of Italian football. So I expect serious words, that take this picture into account, I have not heard them yet
We can also highlight a decline in combativeness on the pitch. A , and what surprised me was the absence of the National team. In other cases you could see a bit of rebellion on the pitch, because there were players with more personality like Verratti. The culprit remains my myth: Luciano Spalletti. However, I defend him, because his passion, his erudition, his knowledge and his ability, I consider them a starting point for the coming years”.
