Anger, complaints, complaints, and infinite regrets! Fortunately, this is not all for the Italian team. On June 11, in Baden, a small city near Vienna, the Italian team was already planning their future. When the team was in crisis, the team veterans stood up and asked Donadoni to make some adjustments, because Italy was on the verge of "life and death"...
Donadoni let Italy Fear
Looking at the recent and modern history of Italy, we will know clearly that Italians have never been very good fighters, but they have never been afraid of anyone on the football field, but it is different now. Donadoni is sitting On the coaching bench, the Italian team, with 13 members of the 2006 World Cup winning team present (we excluded Cannavaro), was scared. They felt, "With Donadoni, there is no security at all.". In a sense, for the former AC Milan striker, this kind of "distrust" from the players is more terrifying than the merciless attacks by the Italian media.
The author does not know how "Gazzetta dello Sport" and "Gazzetta dello Sport" did it, but through Italian reporters, the following news was confirmed by them: A player sent a message in Italy. Teammates and friends explained the reason for the 0-3 result, and the main responsibility lies with Donadoni. Quoting the content of the text message, "We (Italy team) are physically okay, but we are scared when we go on the court. We cannot form a team. We only know who will play a few hours before the game. He (Donadoni) treats Our attitude is as if we are all primary school students..."
It is said that this is a text message received by an AC Milan player (Nesta? It is said to be) from a national team member. "Corriere dello Sport" reporter Santoni said that Totti's complaint was even more terrifying, just because Totti personally disagreed and they couldn't write it out. But we can see from the field that the angry De Rossi directly knocked Borello over during training at noon on the 10th. Fortunately, Borello understood what was going on and did not care too much. Donadoni gave the team members a day off on the afternoon of the 10th, which was out of necessity. Only when they are with their families will the Italian team members become calmer. This is a very dangerous signal.
The players rested, Donadoni worked
On the afternoon of the 10th, De Rossi and his wife and daughter spent a peaceful half-day in Vienna, and Materazzi and his family When visiting the PRATER Stadium in Vienna, Buffon and his wife Elena appeared in the city center of Baden and took a walk there. A waiter in an Italian restaurant whom the author knew also asked Buffon for his autograph and showed the signature to the author. Fortunately, this is Austria, and not many people recognize Buffon. Even the Italian fans, after asking for an autograph, were wise enough not to ask any questions. At most, some said, "Well done to Buffon," in order to win a smile from Buffon. But there is still an obvious bitter element in Juventus No. 1’s smile.
A few veteran players had dinner in the hotel. "They were discussing the next game." An Italian reporter also noticed a phenomenon during the training on the 10th. After the jog, Donadoni directs the training. Gattuso, Ambrosini, Buffon and Pirlo sat together and pointed, seemingly discussing formation issues. Donadoni has been working. On the plane back to Baden from Bern, Donadoni took out his computer. On the afternoon of the 10th, he locked himself in his room. We can't even say that this coach doesn't work hard.
Lack of leadership and communication methods
At noon on June 11, the author contacted Santoni, a reporter from "Corriere dello Sport" to ask about De Rossi's situation, and also published it in the press release After the meeting, I exchanged views with Cecchini of Gazzetta dello Sport. They were all sure that De Rossi would play, but they all expressed a certain degree of concern about the Italian team's situation. "The veteran of the team now has a big say. Donadoni lacks authority. After this game, his prestige is even lower. This is not a good thing." No one doubts De Rossi's appearance. "Daniele (De Rossi) is in a good condition, and now he needs to control his emotions. Totti has already warned him on the phone, and Spalletti has also contacted him.
"
The two big-name reporters are usually in Rome. Their task is to follow and report on Rome, so they are familiar with the situation in Rome. Santoni said, "Personally, I hope Aquilani There is also a chance that Donadoni should understand that the De Rossi-Pirlo-Aquilani combination is the most powerful. But this is unlikely. "What they are also worried about is Donadoni's lack of communication skills. "We can't say that he is not a good person, nor can we say that he is not perseverant enough, but you are now the head coach of the national team. The kind of perseverance you need now, and you Passing several players on the court and showing iron will are completely different things. Unlike Lippi, Donadoni is not popular with the players. He cannot get along with the players like Mourinho and Spalletti. ”
Santoni said that everyone, including the players, did not understand why Donadoni never let the main lineup clearly go on the field for drills in the competition. The players were only one or two days ahead of the media reporters. Knowing the lineup hours before the game is very special. “Whether it’s Lippi, Capello, Ancelotti or Spalletti, the players are used to knowing the situation the day before the game. Donadoni seems to have forgotten that he is now coaching the national team, not his Livorno. This team needs to be ready for everything and does not need any temporary creativity to disrupt the opponent. "
In addition, the mentality of this team is also worrying. "Donadoni seems not to know how to inspire the team, which is different from Lippi. Everyone feels that before the 2006 World Cup , Lippi did a very good job in preparing for the Ghana game. Two days ago, what Italy did when preparing for the match against the Netherlands was very bad. "As for Donadoni's future, Cecchini revealed that Abate (President of the Italian Football Association) is definitely supporting Donadoni now, but his approach (not changing the head coach before the European Cup) is now widely criticized. Unless a miracle occurs (such as winning the European Cup), Lippi cannot be ruled out returning to the national team at the end of June.
