For Valera, who scored a goal, Tuttosport wrote: "Valera, wonderful goal, wonderful performance." The evaluation of Zaniolo is "showing his determination". You know, Zaniolo, who came off the bench after the game, scored a minimum of 5.7 points.
After this war, almost all Italian media believed that the younger generation in Italy had risen and the national team was on the right track. Is the winter of Italian football really over?
Since the heroes of the 2006 World Cup retired one after another, Italian football seems to have no such amazing talent. Even Villacht, the backbone of the new generation, has not embarked on the track of "Pirlo's successor", but has become a midfielder with stronger running ability, stronger fighting ability and stronger transition ability. Polly, the "second generation successor" who erased all the aura on the bench, has long been forgotten. As for the "fourth generation successor" Tonali, he has not been selected for the Italian adult national team.
In the past ten years, there have been too many short-lived stars in Italy, and even several promising new stars every year. Do not believe us to count:
Remember Muru, who is regarded as the best full-back in Italy in the future and is closely followed by AC Milan? He is 24 years old and has done well in Sampdoria.
Remember Val Difiori, the core of Empoli, who was a late bloomer in Surrey? I'm 32 years old and can't play in Spall.
Remember Sassuolo's binary stars Zaza and berardi? They only scored six goals in Serie A this season.
Do you remember the Neapolitan demon Gabbiani? Wandering in Southampton has exhausted him.
Remember O 'Bonner, who was highly anticipated by Juventus? At the age of 30, he wasted his time at West Ham.
Remember Sang Song's 40-meter attack that defeated Inter Milan? He is continuing his boring career in Bologna.
As fans, it is difficult for us to explain why these people have not become our Italian heroes. We think they will become the new Piero, the new Gilardino, the new Pirlo and the new Maldini, but in the end they just become themselves, ordinary themselves.
Watching the new Italian national team set sail, Bernadette, Varela, Keane Jr., Zaniolo and Donaruma all threw taxes on the field, and there were romagnoli, Sensi and Gianluca Mancini on the bench. Every Italian fan expects them to grow into world-class stars in the future, but we have seen so many falling meteors. How many people can stand out from this group of newcomers?
Italian football is still in the cold winter. We deeply know that one day the Azzurri will shake off the snow and usher in a warm spring in bloom, but we don't know whether this day will be the European Cup in 2020, the World Cup in 2022 or the distant future. But we all hope that this day will get better as soon as possible.
