The coach on the eve of Israel-Italy: “They have lost only one game in the last seven”. Tonals: “Gattuso will ensure that each of us is as he was on the pitch”
Three poor days, including the time to digest the binge of tension accumulated for the debut (Friday) and the one to tidy up the latest ideas, launch the latest messages, make the latest decisions, if it still has to focus better (tomorrow): Rino Gattuso must feel like in a centrifuge, but was prepared. Although it can be when driving the Italian national football team on a mission on behalf of the nation, seeing – having to see – a world championship on the horizon. To further focus on the images, even tomorrow evening it will be necessary at all costs not to stumble, better if going at a sustained step to the 90 ‘of this match against Israel: slippery as and perhaps even more than what the results matured so far, and therefore the ranking tell.

That it is a tougher opponent than Estonia taken in spanking on Friday evening is known to everyone, in doubt Gattuso reiterated it. Also explaining the meaning of his declaration on Friday, when he had spoken of bad luck for the fact of having to face Israel: “And I meant the misfortune of having them in our group, not as absolute rivals. I’m sorry I was misunderstood because I am a man of peace, I was referring to their football value. In the last six games Israel has won six times and lost against Norway without deserving them. Transitions, because they hurt you: they have pepper, liveliness and technical qualities. Yeah, the two center forward: do you stir and Kean together, the move that at the distance gave us crackle to theononia. It can be replicated, makes the coach understand, but with different precautions and also attitudes: “The couple can also work with Kean widening, you just have to look for a little more balance. They work well together, they give us depth and even when they come to tie the game, they make us develop in a certain way. Just know that it will be a game with completely different characteristics from Friday”.

Provided that the mood of the team is not different, which Sandro Tonali summarized speaking of a group that goes on the pitch “to have fun together. In this week we pulled out of desire and passion: there were even earlier, but low. We awakened them. It was seen against Estonia: after 60 ‘difficult, we remained positive and we never disunited, without losing the courage to try the play, even if the ball weighed.” The secret, explained one of the two headlights of our midfield, is that “Gattuso will ensure that each of us is as he was on the pitch”. But here the CT chooses a distinction: “It is difficult to make players do what I did, even for what is my vision of football now, compared to how I saw it before. Before signing to drive the national team I had taken a very specific photo, I did not feel I had the truth in my hands, but I knew what way I would have liked to take: I wanted to bring enthusiasm, make them train with the smile, weighing them down. Ready, then we will be judged on the basis of what we will do tomorrow.
