Among Max's challenges is also the pressing of the former Napoli coach. And that bond with Giuntoli...
We had left each other with the echo of the dispute between resultantism and belgiochism, if we want to label two of the most popular football currents this way. We find ourselves, at the beginning of a new season, with the opposition between "easy" and "modern", a nuance - basically, basically - of the same dichotomy. Signed, in this case, by the coach of the moment: Luciano Spalletti, Scudetto winner and free agent.
The Tuscan coach, in the aftermath of the triumphal ride in the championship with Napoli, returned to speak from the terrace of his house, on the occasion of the "Certaldo Nel Pallone" event . Elaborated and studied thoughts, no room for improvisation. Words in which the most malignant have read poisonous jabs at a certain category of his antagonists on the bench. A Dantesque group of which, to be clear, Max Allegri would also and above all belong.
Spalletti: "Football is easy, everyone can say that"
"Everyone can say that football is easy, we need to say something different: we have to choose whether football is easy and that's it or if instead it has to become something modern, as happens in many other professions - declared Spalletti, first on stage of the initiative and then in front of the Sky cameras -. I, like so many others, want to hear something different. It's true that it's easy and, in this sense, you have to bring the plays of people like Vialli, Mancini, Baggio, Del Piero and Totti with you. Then, however, there is also the work of other footballers to consider who didn't have this quality as a divine gift, but obtained it with day-to-day application. We need to explain how the latter managed to break through and if there is anything else they can make available to young people. Inside the locker room today we need synthesis , we need to make beautiful videos, we need to have new and modern things to say to the players».
