Buffon and Bonucci in the storm, very harsh attack by Maurizio Pistocchi

A little more than a week after the national team’s defeat against Bosnia that will force us to watch the World Cup (for the third consecutive edition) without the Azzurri, Maurizio Pistocchi is still furious and at the microphones of CRC pointed the finger at Gennaro Gattuso and not only.

“Gattuso’s choices reflect the complicated moment the national team experienced after Kean’s lead. He made a mistake but it is not so much the mistake itself that amazes me as the staff around him full of distinguished former players. I do not understand what their task was within the staff of the national team. Good thing they resigned. It is not possible to play a qualifying match doing the 4-4-1 with Kean alone waging war playing 9 against 11.”

Maurizio Pistocchi then wanted to talk about Alessandro Bastoni. The Inter defender is going through a complicated period amidst the controversy that arose over the episode with Pierre Kalulu and the expulsion he received against Bosnia: “He made a mistake and apologized, one should not make a trial of intentions in this way to a player. In Italy there are more simulators than goleaders. By the way, the Inter defender is the one who is least to blame on Bosnia’s goal: Donnarumma with his bell-tossed sending off gave the ball to Bosnia, which sent us out of the World Cup, and Mancini got attacked from behind by the opponent.”

“Now I want to hear all the friends like Fabio Capello who always talk to us about building from the bottom. All these gurus evoke the past instead of looking to the future when things go wrong. Training in Italy is low level, and it pains me to say this for someone like me who works in this field. By now we play a predominantly defensive, tactical and pass-filled soccer,” concluded a furious Pistocchi.
