Gigi Cagni demolishes Lele Adani again: "Unlistenable, they slaughtered him"

Gigi Cagni vs Lele Adani, it’s not over. The new act in the pages of “Repubblica”. “He is unlistenable, a guru of those who think they invented soccer, now a prisoner of his own character. He always exaggerates. In reality he is very weak: he attacked me even though I haven’t coached for seven years, and on social media everyone slaughtered him. In my opinion Rai will not renew his contract, for me he’s done,” says the seasoned coach from Brescia.

“These so-called TV talents, who then also certain English terms I recommend to you, know little about soccer and understand even less,” he adds. Many of them don’t know history, they have never seen the Ajax of ’67 play, I’m not saying the one of ’72, not even Radice’s Torino, Viciani’s Ternana or Fascetti’s Varese, memorable examples of pressing and offside.”

“On TV they speak supposed scientists to try to make it more attractive, so they want the sponsors and everyone shouts, everyone speaks English, then we haven’t gone to the World Cup for ages and there will be a reason. Adani’s fault? Blame a generation of soccer players without personality, they are fragile children and grandchildren. Look at Beppe Bergomi’s beastly eyes in ’82, before replacing Collovati against Brazil: he was 18 and his pupils were bloodshot. And then look at the Azzurri in tears on the field in Bosnia, watch how they despair with their hands in their hair.”

“My youth coach in Brescia used to tell us: don’t ever think of making scenes after scoring a goal or after taking it, have respect,” the former Piacenza and Parma coach’s closing remark among others.
