A crying coach, a sage who arrives at the bedside, and a nation on the brink of the nervous crisis. It is not a simple football match that Italy is about to play this Monday evening (8:45 p.m.) against Moldova, but the theater of a national drama. In a twilight atmosphere, Luciano Spalletti will direct his last match, already dismissed from his duties, before leaving room for the experienced Claudio Ranieri, called as a service firefighter.
Spalletti: a last lap on a field of ruins
The rout in Norway (0-3) in the first qualification match was that too much. After missing two consecutive World Cups, this inaugural false away caused the few certainties that remained. THE “Too tense climate” And the unbearable pressure was right for Luciano Spalletti, who said it was “Disappointed (Him)-even”. In an amicable agreement with his federation, he will therefore ensure a final interim this evening, in surrealist circumstances, for a farewell tinged with bitterness and regrets.
Spalletti will live his last match at the head of Italy.
Ranieri, the “sage” called to heal the wounds
Faced with chaos and to prevent the ship azzurro Donted definitively, the Italian federation called on a monument: Claudio Ranieri. At 73, the former coach of Leicester and Monaco is called in “traghettatore” (the one who only passes) to calm the storm and guide the selection in this transition period. It is not a long -term solution, but a outstretched hand, that of a man of experience and wisdom whose mission will be to bring a little serenity.
Win for honor and to survive
In this context, there is still a match to win. And not only for the three points. Faced with the very modest Moldova, already heavily beaten during its first outings, Italy is “Clearly to mark a lot” To treat a difference in goals already compromised and, above all, to restore a semblance of national pride. A wide victory is expected to try to relaunch itself in the race for the dams, a word that all of Italy hoped never to have to pronounce again. There Nazional
owes a reaction, for Spalletti, for Ranieri, and for itself.
