The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Wednesday, a little bit late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend "Tianyuan Hanqi" for the reward.

There are still more than three months before the opening of the World Cup. It stands to reason that the national team coaches have enough time to continue to inspect the local players they are paying attention to, and make further adjustments to the 23-man roster for the World Cup in Germany. Players in better form are recruited into the national team, so that their teams can appear on the stage of the World Cup with the strongest posture.

However, Capello has a different view on this.In the view of the world-renowned gold medal coach, this approach is very likely to destroy the team's hard-won chemical reaction during the World Cup qualifiers, and then bring unnecessary chaos to the locker room and the team.Therefore, all along, Capello's investigation has focused on those players who are often recruited into the national team by him. Although other players are also slightly involved, they are just substitutes for Capello.It can be said that unless there is an accident, these people simply have no chance to represent Italy in this year's World Cup.

The names of Vieri and Inzaghi were also included in this list by Capello.In other words, these two veterans who have made great achievements for Italy did not actually fall into Capello's eyes.Compared with them who are no longer at their peak, Tony and Gilardino, who are younger and more aggressive, and whose technical style is similar to the two, are obviously more valued by this gold medal coach.

However, Inzaghi's sudden outburst disrupted Capello's original plan.After experiencing the slump in the first half of the season, the veteran has exploded since February this year, scoring consecutive goals in various competitions. The average number of goals per game in the last ten Pisa games has even reached as many as 1.7!

The most important thing is that the teams that fell under Inzaghi's guns are not lacking in those powerful giants.For example, AC Milan just lost to Fiorentina in the league. Originally, with the intelligence of Ancelotti and the stability of Maldini and others, the Rossoneri would not lose so miserably at home even if they lost. But it was extremely unlucky to run into Inzaghi who was in good form, and the name of Super Pippo once again resounded throughout the international football world!

Moreover, Inzaghi's scoring during this period is nothing to say, most of the games he scored were played as a substitute.This also means that even if Capello puts Inzaghi on the bench, he can still pose a great threat to the opponent-after all, compared to those strikers who will not score goals as soon as they sit on the bench , Inzaghi, who already has a faint "super substitute" attribute, obviously has a greater advantage in this regard.

It seems that it was specially designed to bring out the excellence and excellence of Inzaghi. Several of Inzaghi's competitors in the national team began to fall into a slump during his explosive period: Girardi who joined AC Milan with a high profile last summer Nuo suffered a long period of scoring drought after the winter break, and now he has come out but his performance is ups and downs; Cassano left Spain after falling out with the Roma club, and now he can only sit on the bench of the Galacticos The years are wasted; although Di Natale performed steadily as always, he exists more as a tactical supplement for the team in Bian Kezhong, and although there are some conflicts with Inzaghi's position, it is not obvious.

As for the likes of Tavano and Iaquinta, let alone, the reason why Capello likes them is that he wants them to play a blue-collar role and create opportunities for other teammates to create space. How many scoring tasks do not overlap with Inzaghi's position at all.

He has rich experience in the game, can score goals on the field, is not soft against strong teams, and has a very correct attitude in the game... All these advantages are combined, and it is natural that Inzaghi is more reliable than other local forwards except Milito and Tony many.

Should he stick to his own opinion and select players according to the original plan, or follow public opinion and let Inzaghi return to the national team according to the player's condition? Even a head coach like Capello who will never waver easily will inevitably hesitate at this time .After all, Inzaghi's outstanding performance during this period has made his calls for returning to the national team more and more louder, and Capello simply cannot choose to ignore it.Especially after Gilardino and others showed signs of being weak in the face of strong teams, this call became even stronger.

It is inevitable that such a situation will occur.Although he has won almost all the championship trophies available at the club level, at the national team level, Capello is still a rookie with no honors.The reason why the gold medal coach was able to quickly take control of the team after taking over the coach left by Trapattoni is mainly because he made a good friendship with these international players when he coached the two clubs of Fiorentina and Rome. .Otherwise, it would be difficult for Capello to make the players completely obey his orders and arrangements.

Therefore, the better Inzaghi played at the club, the more distressed Capello would naturally be.Because he knows that if he resolutely rejects Inzaghi under such circumstances, it won't be long before the Fiorentina department will be dissatisfied with this, thus shaking the foundation of Capello's dominance in the national team Woolen cloth.

So, after much hesitation, Capello finally made a decision, taking the opportunity of the new national team training to find Nesta in his office: "Alessandro (Nesta), I plan to In the next national team training camp, let Inzaghi re-enter the squad. So, I hope you can say hello to him in advance and ask him if he is willing to continue to play for the country."

The reason why Capello did not mention the return of Vieri to the national team is because, on the one hand, Vieri has not scored many goals this season, and the existence of Toni and Milito has squeezed his living space. It made Vieri very difficult to return to the national team.

On the other hand, and more importantly, it seems that Vieri was unfortunately injured in training because he was too desperate to get the chance to participate in the World Cup.The diagnosis given by the physical therapy center shows that Vieri, who has damaged knee and ankle ligaments at the same time, will have to recuperate until at least August this year before he can play again.This also means that Vieri will be doomed to miss the World Cup held in Germany this summer.

With Vieri confirmed that he will be reimbursed for the season, Capello naturally has no reason to re-enroll him in the national team, unless he wants to be drowned by the saliva of the media and fans.
