your videos are really majestic, i haven't seen smth like that for a long timeđ
His squad selection was shocking
Terrible ahh manager
I guess thatâs why he said after the tournament he needed his squad to become younger. So that they will listen to him but the football he played was so awful no wonder his group threw him under the bus.
Who drops locatelli and orsolini for fagioli and el shaarawy?
Bro El Sharaway spawned outta thin air
not to mention he also said before the tournament that he liked the Inter core of players and then after elimination said that Inzaghi had let the inter players intensity drop off after winning Serie A
Baby boy pinder!
"slick football"
Yeah, that's why he went wrong. Italy was NEVER slick. They do play progressive football but you are insane if you expect slick from Italy (unless you're Baggio).
That's why that Gilardino's flick is legendary (that was never Italy style)
