A dream that comes true, an adventure accepted with conviction and with the clear goal to revive the fate of the national team. The era of Gennaro Gattuso officially began As a new technical commissioner, with a press conference that was held at the Hotel Parco dei Principi in Rome together with the president of the FIGC, Gabriele Gravina, and the chief delegation of the national team, Gianluigi Buffon. “I hope to be up to par, I know that the task is not easy, but we are aware and convinced that we can do a great job”, the first words of the twenty -third blue ct. “In Italy the players are there, but you have to put them in the best conditions to express themselves. You have to enter their heads. There is a need for enthusiasm – It is the recipe for Gattuso -, of the desire to be together. We have to make those who come to Coverciano do so with a smile. “Gattuso has also opened the doors to those who have often been excluded, such as, for example, Federico Chiesa:” I told him to find a solution to play continuously. It applies to everyone. Some that have been out have precise characteristics that can help us “.
Often, among the comments that concern him, the most used adjectives are “grit” and “heart”: “The image of footballer is difficult to erase – admits Gattuso -. I think the teams that I have trained in recent years have expressed a good football. Today a Gattuso, with the mess that did at a tactical level, I would not like it in my team. I like to update myself, talk about football. I accepted the assignment with conviction. “His assistants will be Luigi Riccioin the role of deputy, e Leonardo Bonucci. They too, as well as Cesare Prandelli, in the new technical task that entrusted him with the Federation, together with Simone Perrotta and Gianluca Zambrotta, will be fundamental in creating a cohesive group in all components. “I promise commitment and passion. I hope to do what he did Marcello Lippiwhich is not to raise the world cup but the alchemy in the locker room. It is the primary objective, “continues the new CT. That also speaks of the problem of those who refuse the national team:” We must see why he does it. In Gigi and the president, but he will also serve a hand from the clubs, I asked to help me to make players who have a problem come to Coverciano. “
“We have doctors and all the tools, if we want to be credible and do not create apologies or previous because everyone wants to do what they want, whoever is called up to Coverciano. With 60 games per year there are always problems, we must go further,” explained Gattuso. It is impossible not to talk about the Acerbi case and his no on Spalletti before the races with Norway and Moldova: “I didn’t talk to it because my choices are different, I called other younger players who can give us something right now”. Now a long eve opens towards the next commitments, on 5 and 8 September against Estonia and Israel, to see the first results of the Gattuso cure, one who, as a blue, when he felt the hymn ended “the eyes and 73 times, indeed for 100 and passes times, I felt the voice of mother who called me from the balcony and the infinite matches played in Calabria”, one who dedicated to his vice. We always fight “) and the parents (” Seeing their emotion was a great joy) the role that was entrusted to him
The origins
“What message do I want to give Calabria? I don’t have to give any life lesson. I am not so important to give anyone life lessons. I think Calabria is an incredible land“. The new national team coach, Gennaro Gattuso, during the presentation to the press said.” My childhood was beautiful and I always say that when I felt the hymn, I closed my eyes and 73 times, indeed for 100 and passes times, I felt the voice of mom who called me from the balcony, the infinite games played there. What can I say? Which is a beautiful land and that young people have to follow the right path, that of the study, to be decent people. Because this is the truth, we come from a land that is an incredible land and we always talk about negative things. And we hope to make our region of positive things speak “.
