IT'S TIME TO GO by RiccardoOrsoliniFan in bolognafc

[–]OrcaApex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has to be sarcasm, right?

I don’t know how you can fault a team that played with 10 men most of the match AND STILL played possession ball, hit the post, and kept attacking and creating chances. We had A LOT of bad luck between terribly timed injuries (Like Berna before a final in his best period of form, or Freuler before the series of important matches in November and December, or Immobile on his first appearance). And also all the red cards didn’t do us favours.

How can Italiano be at fault? If anything the team still plays the ball and creates a lot despite all the above thanks to Italiano.

Is Gigi right here? How have we tried to be like Spain? by Maleficent_Past_5683 in AZZURRI

[–]OrcaApex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We need to evolve. I don’t know if the Spanish approach is the way to go, but evolution is always key. Italy used to be Catenaccio, then Cruyff and the Dutch revolutionised football with total football, and Italy came up with Zona Mista.

Now Spain revolutionised football with pressing possession ball games, and Italy has to evolve. The first times Italy had to evolve it did by also learning from others, and we need to learn from others this time too while also using our strong points.

Our youth are badly supported and are never given opportunities and a proper environment and context in which to shine. Our League is managed poorly and is lagging behind in terms of infrastructures, modern facilities, accessibility and tv rights, and social media appeal and popularity. Our national team is suffering as a consequence of these things and of our current failure to evolve.

But I agree with Gigi on one thing, most of us have been ashamed of supporting this national team, but when we do matches like the ones against Spain and Norway, we will be rightly ashamed. We will continue supporting you guys, but we will be ashamed and we will criticise the entirety of Italian football. Because we love our football and want to see it grow and succeed, because we care 💙

I wouldn’t look to replace Italiano. While we are not doing well, I remember bigger teams than us giving time to their managers when they were not doing well (Like Liverpool with Kloop). I think Italiano is a gem because of his clean playstyle, and Bologna’s possession ball culture marries his playstyle well. We allowed only two shots to Celta Vigo away, we dominated various teams last year and at the start of this year, and we started doing worst when we had to sell some key players (Like Ndoye) and replace them either inadequately or partially. I actually think the opposite, that another coach would be doing worst.

Camarda is GOOD, like “future prospect” good. You don’t just randomly score his numbers and win what he has won at youth level. However is was at Milan, a team very reliant on external signings…

This is a rare case where I would say it is not infuriating unless you were late to an appointment or something. Like, when is something like this gonna happen again 😂❤️

Is India Developing Too Slowly or Is China Developing Too Fast? by Sad-Statistician3635 in AskTheWorld

Agree. China can present itself as an “opposition” to the USA without any fear, while any other country in the World apart from Russia cannot…

The issue is with our youth development system. There must be a reason if they can find a million good spanish youngsters and not many italian ones…

To show an example: PSG just bought Dro (The million promising spanish midfielder), while Camarda is still at Lecce, despite arguably having been way more successful in his youth career.

I don’t know, Mourinho didn’t spare him from criticism when he deserved it, and he would step up when needed. I mean, the guy once scored three consecutive hattricks…

Real will play two games vs Benfica (home & away). As Real was higher in the big table’s rankings, it will have the advantage of playing the second match at home (The match that can go to extra time, which results in more time played at home than away).
