The day of the release of the account of Italy for Ventura, Italy, that tonight at the Friends Arena of Solna is played half way through the participation in the soccer worlds that will be held in Russia in the 2018. The other half of the visa will be in play in the return match against Sweden scheduled Monday November 13 at the Meazza in Milan.
The qualifying practice will end in three days, after which we will know if we are still worthy to count football among the national excellence or if after many other pregnancies that have always characterized us in the world, we must also set aside this, also sold to the best bidder.
Obviously, we have to be admitted, we are still a scornful people, but it would be unthinkable as well as catastrophic for our country not to be the protagonists even for a mere participation in the next world competition. It would be really frustrating for the millions of Italians involved in football, a number that, on the occasion of international blues competitions, gets drastically high, having to watch the "others" in television, unthinkable to hear the notes of 32 national dances without ever thrilling for l execution of our "Brothers of Italy," it would be unthinkable to not see our towns boasting of tricolors hung on the balconies by a people who unfortunately pull out the glorious tricolor drawers only on occasions like these, and that in the days of competitions, if winning successes, it is rediscovered as a nationalist as it would be desirable to be always and for everything that concerns our Italy.
Returning to this evening's commitment, the Blues' Blues, technical leaders are great, almost overwhelming, but these are the best opportunities to compete and demonstrate our strength. We in Russia have to be there because we can all be and not simply by appearances but by protagonists as our DNA forces us.
Italy only once failed to qualify for a football world. It was the January 15 of 1958, a faded date in the history of Italian football. In fact, the Azzurri in the group with Portugal and Northern Ireland lost to Belfast for 2-1 a match that would have been enough to equalize and to put the World Cup in Sweden. It has been almost 60 years since then and such a bloody, even in times not right to the top for our football, has never been replicated. In fact, even before that 1958, Italy had not achieved a qualification to a world championship because the only other absence of a world championship, in addition to that in Sweden, went back to the 1930 when Italy did not participate for choice and not for sports demerits at the World Cup held in Uruguay.
Gian Piero Ventura, an inexplicable choice for replacing a top ct as Conte, is obviously convinced that "We will go to the World Cup". How could it be different? Meanwhile it seems to rain in the wet blue house as the "rehabilitated" Zaza summoned after several time to make a couple in attack with the Lazio Real Estate bomber has been injured and will not be in the challenge. The form chosen by Ventura to "disassemble this Ikea wardrobe" that will not have among his even Ibrahimovic the strongest Swedish player of all time but has recently abandoned his nationality, should be 3-5-2. The training will probably be this:
Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, De Rossi, Verratti, Darmian; Real Estate, Belotti.
