FIRENZE (ITALPRESS) – “It will not be a scampanata, I want to see maximum commitment and continue on what we started in September. They are official matches, we wear the blue shirt.” Rino Gattuso, ct of Italy, wants a national on the piece in view of the last two world qualifying races against Moldova and Norway. Unless of clamorous twists, the blues will play everything at the play-offs.
“We must think about us and not what Norway does,” the reference to a possible false passage of Scandinavians against Estonia before the direct confrontation. In Chisinau the ct expects “a difficult game, we will change something, the trap is always around the corner. My players know that, too. For me it is more important the first than the second game because the second one prepares itself. Norway can put us in trouble considering the characteristics they have and the fact that they are healthy. Our misfortune is to have found a team like them in the group that at this moment expresses an exceptional kick.”.
As for the list of convoys, Gattuso makes clear about the absence of Church: “I speak often with him, we must respect the choices and problems that everyone has, what a player tells me. It is his choice.” However, “people like Zaniolo, Gym and other players have done interesting things. I like to work with players I’ve been working with for a long time but the doors of the National are not closed, there are so many people who turn around and we also turn so much. Kean injured? He didn’t have to play the cup game last Thursday, he went in, took a hit where he already had trouble and we lost it. We still have strong attackers, who have shown that they have given us a great hand.”.
Among these is Scamacca. “You don’t have to prove anything to me, if you are here because I strongly believe in him. He’s been through difficult times, quality, ballistics, I expect to do things right. I have always praised in these games not the goals made by attackers but the spirit. This I want to see from him.” The blue rally is also an opportunity to talk about the championship where the rhythms remain low. “The problem is that tactic is a master. There are coaches who prepare games in an incredible way, you play in short spaces, hardly you play in the open field. In other championships you play in the open field, see peaks of speed. It’s more complicated than us. When I look at a known game that is complicated to play with us. We have tactical masters. I enjoy myself when the game opens and individuality emerges.”.
On the other hand, he admits, “I like the courage of Italian and Gasperini, Mancini in the last two-three games seems Cafù. Italian and Gasperini are coaches who are not afraid, bring four-five men in the offensive area, risk one against one, so much stuff, compliments to them.” It’s not like Count to Naples. “I know there is a great coach, who won so much, who knows how to move. I worked there for 19 months, when you win it is difficult to reconfirm but Antonio has the strength and the ability to get out of this moment, which then is not so negative, if you see the ranking are all there”.
And then a joke on Spalletti, his predecessor in National and now coach of Juve: “I heard it, I complimented him and the wolf was the least.”
