Rebuilding The Azzurri for Euro 2024 and beyond

Conte doesn't have the patience to rebuild...he's a max 2 year coach. Im fine with Manicini but if we were to bolt or fail in the next Euros, it's time to call Don Carlo I think he's ready for the part time work of national team gig away from the Club grind.

 

Carlo is accustomed to working with top players

 

Primo allenamento in nazionale per !!!




Retegui is represented by Francesco Totti's agency....

 

Exactly why he would never go back to Milan.

 

Carlo wants a WC and that's simply not happening with Italy, hence all the Brazil rumors.

 

He'll be perfect because the NT isn't a weekly thing and nowhere near as involved as a club coach, it's the right amount of Conte.

 

True, or return to Italy in general. Why on earth would you leave real Madrid??

Btw uefa will ban Juventus. Cry bitch

 

Chiesa's latest injury is not serious. He's coming back from an ACL and I personally think his form was really starting to pick up lately. Obviously he's not back at 100% but that is normal after an ACL. He's not Giuseppe Rossi and he's far superior to Berardi in every way. Better skill, uses both feet well, faster, clutch. He'll be an important part of our team for a long time.

I was a skeptic of the Retegui call up. However, I didn't realize he's Sicilian on his mother's side and spent summers in Sardegna as a kid where his dad was coaching some sort of hockey team. Apparently, he's brushing up on his Italian. Is he going to be belting the Inno di Mameli anytime soon? No. But, is he that far off of say a Mauro Camoranesi? I'm not so sure. Mauro did spend a lot of years in Italy and it was his adopted home so that is certainly different. But, if Mateo wears the shirt with pride and honors his bloodline, then perhaps I need to be more open-minded about it....particularly when our biggest striker hopes seem to be in Serie B right now.

 

What does Mancini see in Emerson? We all watch Emerson do absolutely nothing from the LB, and on a team with better attacking, maybe it would be okay to have a conservative, zero-risk player at that position. But Italy need aggressive play from that spot. It was arguably the driving offensive force during the 35+ game unbeaten streak. Emerson is incapable of providing that kind of spark, and therefore Mancini is crazy to ever play him. Emerson better sit next to Pafundi as an absolute last-ditch sub, because if he's getting minutes instead of Spina I'm going to throw up.

Pessina is just mediocre. I don't care that he's gotten a few opportune goals for Italy. There are 5 other midfielders who Mancini should be picking over Pessina without any deep thought.

Mancini wants to summon another Boca player for the Italian National Team
After sealing the call for Mateo Retegui, the Italian technical director goes by a proper name who plays for Xeneize.

However, it seems that Mancini is not satisfied with Retegui's call-up and continues to keep an eye on Argentine football for future commitments. Without going any further, the renowned coach from the past in teams like Manchester City revealed that there are several footballers he is following closely and among them there is another Argentine.

In the midst of this panorama, there is a player from the current professional squad of Boca Juniors who is of interest to Mancini thinking about the next calls for the Italian National Team. This is Nicolás Valentini , a 21-year-old central defender who works mostly in the Xeneize Reserve led by Mariano Herrón.

 

Salad lacks vinegar and parmegian.

 

So it's not that the talent isn't there, it's that the talent is undisciplined and makes dumb decisions. Add Kean and Zaniolo to that club.

 

Yeah it was interesting for one or two, but this is kinda desperate. Just go with what you got in Italy and have faith.

My pov, I'm just curious to see what a Argentine fresh from his country will do in a European qualifier campaign. I'm interested in how they adapt.

I'm also half italian too, so this is just interesting.

 

The euro team could have won the World Cup. Morocco went to the semi ffs.

 

Salad still plays pretty deep and is shit, but he's a foreigner and needs to have a fair chance. That means he can make as many mistakes as he wants.

 

i agree... the doom and gloom is overstated. Yes we don't have a reliable striker.. but what we have is great wingers... great midfielders.. a solid defence.. and a top 5 goalie in the world (Gigio or Vicario you pick).

 

Dolla is a fraud. A rich one.

 

Dolla won us a euros... more than many other goalies can say.
