Chapter 52 Disputes continue (1600)
Emotionally, Zhuang Mingge hopes to see famous players like Viali and Mancini participate in this US World Cup. After all, through the precipitation of memory, he knows very clearly that Old Man Saki's playing style is not suitable for the Blues that emphasizes the coordination of the whole team. Now Italy's tactical system is almost completely transplanted directly from Milan back then. However, the biggest difficulty for the Blues to implement this tactic is that there is no Gulit, no Basten, and no Milan version of the tactical system supported by the "Three Musketeers of the Netherlands" and mainly oppressive offense.
Under that irreversible tactical system, Old Sakchi settled for the second best. Baggio, whose own characteristics and abilities were unique to the Apennines, became the candidate to maximize the tactical requirements of Coach Sakchi under the existing hardware conditions. In Zhuang Mingge's view, the technical characteristics of Viali and Mancini can effectively coexist with Baggio under the existing tactical system. Unfortunately, the old man's stubbornness and "persistence" made the possibility of this seemingly perfect combination to enter the World Cup and was unknowingly strangled.
Despite this, the fact that these stars were not completely unacceptable. After all, Zhuang Mingge did not play the role of Italian fans for more time. He still needs to work diligently to devote more energy to the management of the Florence club.
...
The day after officially releasing Italy's 22-man roster, Sampdoria star Robert Mancini, who learned that he missed the roster, held a press conference in ** and announced his "permanent" retirement from the national team.
"I think my level is no lower than Robert (Baggio), so I can't stand continuing to play as a substitute for the national team," Mancini said at the press conference. "So I told the head coach Mr. Arongo Saki what I think, all I want is an equal opportunity for playing with Baggio."
"You all saw it. Sakchi's answer to this was to drive me out of the World Cup roster directly. He didn't even explain to me why he did this!" Mancini's tone began to get excited, "Am I not as good as Kasirach? The forward who can only score four goals in a season?"
"Mr. Mancini, what do you mean is that Sakchi treats you unfairly in choosing a national team player?" After the host announced that the press conference had entered the free questioning time, media reporters who were afraid that the world would not be in chaos rushed forward, rushing to dig out more "shock information" from Mancini's mouth.
"That's right, that's what I mean." Mancini, who was angry, responded to the expectations of the majority of journalists. "So, I announce here that as long as Sachy is still in the national team for one day, I will never return to the Italian national team."
So in this way, under Mancini's fierce "accusation", the reporters attending the press conference obtained enough "raw materials" to create artistic creation.
Under the "faning the flames" of media reporters, Italy also expressed doubts about the criteria for national teams to select players.
Although the Serie A League is known as the "Small World Cup", the competition between the teams is extremely fierce, and the excellent Italian players are everywhere, so controversy will always exist, but the players Saki chose this time did arouse dissatisfaction among many people.
"Viali's undraft may be explained by the fact that he may be in poor condition this year, but are Bergomi and Panucci's abilities not as good as a 31-year-old Musi?" This is the comment of Berzot, the "pipe coach" who led Italy to win the championship in the 1982 World Cup. "The league champion AC Milan has 8 players, runner-up Juventus has 3 players, third-place Sampdoria has 1 player, fourth-place Lazio has 3 players, fifth-place Parma has 6 players selected, which is abnormal."
Saki quickly jumped out to refute, saying in the interview: "I choose the most suitable players for the team's tactics, not who is famous." (Saki refers to Bealzot bringing Paul Rossi, the "golden boy" who is already in shape, to the 1986 World Cup)
Berzot led Italy to win the World Cup championship by no one was optimistic about back then and was regarded as a hero by the Italians. As soon as Saki said this, he could be considered a hornet's nest. Another group of football celebrities jumped out from some corner and continued to fight him...
Sampdoria, whose only one player has been on the World Cup roster, also publicly expressed dissatisfaction. The team's boss Enrique Mantovani said, "Saki can take Milan and Parma United to compete in the United States World Cup."
Former Juventus chairman Jani Agnelli, who has not made public comments for a long time, also commented on the matter in an interview: "I think Saki is a very thoughtful coach, and he may think Musi is listening to him more than Toricelli."
Not to mention the troubles in Italy, other traditional teams participating in the World Cup are also quarreling over the issue of choosing players.
In the Netherlands, the conflict between "braid coach" Gulit and coach Edvokat broke out. The two had several quarrels over the team's tactical issues. Gulit, who was quite dissatisfied with the head coach, left the national team training camp several times and finally decided to leave the national team. Gulit claimed that the reason for leaving was that he could not tolerate the dominance of Ajax players in the Netherlands. Gulit's father George said: "My son cannot tolerate such a team, a group of idiots, or some inexperienced children who control the team."
As a result, the "Three Dutch Musketeers" who created countless glory together were injured by Basten and Gulit's departure, and in the end, only the "Black Swan" Rijkald participated in the US World Cup alone.
In terms of Brazil's national team, former midfielder superstar Socrates' younger brother Lai was highly expected by Brazilian fans, but the No. 10 player who played for Paris Saint-Germain was coldly treated in the national team. Brazilian national team coach Pereira attached extreme importance to defense. He did not like a midfielder like Lai, who had weak defensive abilities. Although he finally brought this talented midfielder under the pressure of public opinion, anyone with discerning eyes knew that Lai's trip to the United States would not be very pleasant.
...
Seeing that the US World Cup is about to open, Zhuang Mingge, who has been tight in his wallets recently, has begun to think of using his "memory" to make a big profit in the World Cup.
But then again, there are only things like gambling in the past few years. When the influence of my little butterfly becomes greater and greater in a few years and changes the original trajectory of the world, if I accidentally trick myself into gambling in the past few days, I will definitely become the laughing stock of all time travelers.
"Tony, do you want to place bets on the World Cup this time?" Karin snuggled in Zhuang Mingge's arms, looking at her man's face, as smart as she guessed Zhuang Mingge's plan easily.
"Yes, I want to see if I will have the luck of the qualifiers this time." Zhuang Mingge could only give such an answer. If he told Karin that he had returned from time travel in 2012, he would probably be sent to a mental hospital for treatment in the next second.
Well, let’s talk about the betting on football later. It’s still early and nothing is going to happen. Looking at the beauty who fell lazily in her arms, some of Zhuang Mingge’s little thoughts began to come alive again...
