“I live with difficulties, live with them all my life. When someone tries to show me pity, I want to hit him with his head. I respond every time.
I admit that I do not leave my successor a large national team of Italy, because we did not perform very well again. I was allowed to work. I tried, I was mistaken, I was experimented. In everything I do, I’m trying to learn and I’m not sure I know more than anyone else.
I couldn’t squeeze the maximum of these players and I must admit it. All were lower than the average level. In fact, you were all too kind to me, I would be harsher.
I tried to shake the situation when I arrived, but perhaps I did more harm, judging by what I see. The buffon grumbled me four or five times. He helped me very much. Only then do you understand whether you did the right thing or not. I wish all the best federation and new trainer who will come.
Disappointment is the love that I feel for this national team. Tonight seven or eight children ran to meet the team of the team when we arrived. We look at the love that surrounds us, and we could not pay for it the right performances.
What did the players say when I announced my departure? They were silent, they had nothing to say. I called them the day before, but they already understood how things were, and so I decided to just say. After all, if I kept everything with me, today and tomorrow would be endless disputes.
I be angry with myself and no one else, because I have done my job badly. I leave this national team of Italy almost the same as I found it, but I could not improve the situation, which means that I did not do my job poorly. In my first match, as a coach was the fear that we would not get on the euro and now I leave the team in a similar situation.
I hope the one who comes after me will be able to improve this team because I do not wish evil this team. Maybe I made some wrong choice and maybe we were not lucky that the first game was with Norway on the departure. If there were light matches now, and in September more difficult, everything could be different. Having said all this – I couldn’t cope.
If you take the role of a team coach, you have to look for a solution. You can’t hide for Alibi, who has little players. I made mistakes, and in some sense I was properly sent home, but I did not apply for resignation because I was convinced that I could achieve more. If I am not told that I am not the person who needs the national team, then I accept it, “-suggests the words of the football-ass.
