Immobile has done everything to not leave the blue, but recent history is full of preventive and subsequent renunciations. And Mancini said enough
The Immobile case is decidedly different from the recent ones of the Lazio comrades Lazzari and Zaccagni, not to mention the bad story of Sensi. The center-forward would have entered the field with crutches in Budapest and did everything he could not to leave the national team, at least to remain in the group by metaphorically hooking himself to the wing of the plane that was leaving for Hungary. Even a year ago, before the challenge against Switzerland and Northern Ireland for the World Cup, Ciro had to leave at the last minute, disappointed as few.
LAZZARI AND ZACCAGNI
–
In June the opposite happened: Lazzari (deployed in the second half against Argentina in London) and Zaccagni, the attacking winger on which Mancio was focusing a lot, “said they had problems and returned home” after the first game. , words of the same coach who then added: “I was surprised”. And God forbid: if Bonucci reaches 118 tomorrow, if Buffon has reached 176, Cannavaro at 136, Maldini at 126 and Chiellini at 117 it is because, for them, the national team was as sacred as the clubs of which they were flagships. And never once did they say “no” to a call, even for a friendly match, if they weren’t on a stretcher with oxygen. But we are talking about champions.
ALSO SENSES
–
Lazzari and Zaccagni stayed at home in this lap and the impression is that they will see the blue on TV for a long time to come. Finally a Mancini in a less feel-good version is reminding them, Kean, Zaniolo, that the national team is not a playground and those who come do it to give their soul. Speaking of Zaniolo: in November he had returned home with a calf problem, in October he had said no for a problem with his flexor. The blue report is getting complicated. Another former member of the national team for which Mancini would have paid is also not good: let’s talk about Sensi. Even when he wasn’t playing for Inter, the coach entrusted him with the center of Italy in the absence of Jorginho, and tried to wait for him at the European Championship too. Thanksgiving? A year ago, before Lithuania, called up in the group, Sensi went home to Inter, immediately explaining on social media that he is well and preparing for Sampdoria. Evidently the club was more important. Evidently since then Sensi has not been in the national team anymore.
ACCIDENTS AND CT …
–
History is full of pre-emptive and subsequent renunciations. There is no doubt that the number of “sufferers” forced to return home increases in the cycles in which the harmony with the coaches is less strong. During the Ventura era the parade of people going to Coverciano and then returning to the clubs was quite long. If we were Mancini, we would worry a little about the new bad habit. When things went great, in the long run-up to the European Championship and immediately after, the lists were too short to accommodate all the suitors. In recent times the injuries, who knows how, have increased. Verratti also took a hit and stayed at home. Before the European Championship, however, he had done everything to participate, working like a damn and presenting himself ready – all right if ready – from the third game with Wales and then on to the final.
TOTTI-LIPPI FRIENDSHIP
–
There is no shortage of historical cases. From one a great friendship was born which then turned into a World Cup. Let’s go back to 2004, the beginning of Lippi’s cycle, second game, in Palermo, against Norway (and then there will be Moldova). In those days, escaping from the national team was a problem and the FIGC institutionalized the check-up visit in the retreat: then those who are ill, as confirmed by the federal doctors, go home. So Totti flies to Palermo, worried about a possible clash with a technician with a strong character like his. And instead Lippi just wants to get to know him and establish a relationship with a player that he considers fundamental for the national team. He is not bluffing. When Totti breaks his leg, Lippi will be there in the hospital first, and will take him to Germany even if not at the maximum. Totti will be the owner and decisive like the others in Berlin.
PUNISHED INSIGNE
–
Conte had been among the toughest. In November 2015 he left Insigne at home before the friendlies against Belgium and Romania. A month earlier, Insigne had left Coverciano due to knee discomfort operated on a year earlier. A controversy was born and Aurelio De Laurentiis intervened. However, at the resumption of the championship, Insigne had played and Conte had not liked. So at home, instead of him Gabbiadini. Even Berardi had ended up out of the game because he had left Coverciano a little too often for Conte’s liking.
