Let's say it frankly: Italian football, or at least what concerns the National (or better the national, not just the largest but also the Under), is in crisis. In South Africa we have come out in the first round without winning a single game, doing even less points than a team with no football tradition like New Zealand. Well, someone thought, it's time to make a point and go to his head, and it was realized that just seven days after the World Cup final chance to make up there (or rather, was). Not, of course, for the senior national team, which has just seen the beginning was the Prandelli, but for the Under-19 Massimo Piscedda, committed to the European Championship in France. Even On this occasion, unfortunately, came the fool: the shipping blue ended his adventure last place of Group B with just one point, after defeats to Portugal (2-0) and Spain (3-0), and a draw with Croatia (0-0). Three meetings and zero goals for the team captained by Fabio Borini, which does not participate in the Under 20 World Cup next year just because of the placement, in contrast to France, England, Spain, Austria, Croatia and Portugal. The match lost 3-0 against Spain's light blue they offered to provide a seriously inadequate. He could end up even worse, write the papers. "Honor to Spain, we have come here with a good team, he did not know speak, "said the coach Piscedda. We can not all the blame on him, obviously. Also because, if you go to see the numbers of admissions selected by the coach for the European, the figures are frightening. The English in the field against Italy were collected in all 84 appearances in La Liga, while the blue just 4 (2 and 2 D'Alessandro Crescenzi, both products of the nursery of Rome, assigned on loan to Grosseto). Borini, however, has played both in the league and the Champions League but had to find space in Chelsea Ancelotti (Italy has not devoted the attention due). It is better to put the Under-21: its position is critical for the qualification to the finals European Championship in Denmark. Gigi Casiraghi's men must beat Wales and Bosnia, with the first in the group almost impossible to achieve and hope to reach at least the play-offs (must enter in the top four best runners-up). A year nightmare that we hope will end soon to start again with just men and young people up to the task, even if the premises are not the best (Inter Milan Balotelli sold to Manchester City, nothing has changed, apparently ).
