“Pirlo deserves more than Conte”



[ad_1]

Colleague Tancredi Palmeri gave the Serie A coaches ratings and judgments in the TMW columns. Here’s his editorial: “The first third of the league is over, 14 days out of 38, even in abundance, so with the break in between and before the transfer market resumes, here are the votes for the coaches.
There have been many surprises, and such a compact ranking and such an uncertain season could not say otherwise.
The obligatory consideration is that everything is absolutely reversible, not even if it were an Alessandro Borghese, so today’s vote can easily turn into a voteoni at the end of the year.

GASPERINI (All. Atalanta): vote 5
We must not forget that in peace for everyone Atalanta left among the favorites to enter the Champions League. Which means at least fourth place. Atalanta is seventh: obviously, there is talk of a handful of points, but in truth the 4-0 suffered in Naples they have definitely slipped from the Champions League positions. And not only that. Since then the good game has also been lost, the Gomez case has exploded and will deprive Atalanta of the best player from last season, and something in general has changed. Qualification for the round of 16 recovered in an epic way, although Atalanta remained the second favorite of the group. However, Gasperini closed the year higher, so it seems that the vote will return to the expected levels.

MIHAJLOVIC (All. Bologna): vote 5
The merit of Bologna is that they always play. The provocation that comes spontaneously is that at times he seems to play too much: Sinisa always tries but the balance of the team has been lost too much, certainly not helped by the numerous injuries. It’s a team from the bottom left of the table, but it’s never gotten close.

PIPPO INZAGHI (All. Benevento): rating 7.5
How do you do better? Impossible, or almost. Benevento becomes 10th despite having a relegation roster, with honest exchanges that are giving a crazy performance with Superpippo. Inzagone is succeeding in what coaches enjoy the most: leading a player to give more than he usually gives. Benevento is smart and funny, congratulations.

DI FRANCESCO (All. Cagliari): vote 5.5
The problem is that the Cagliari squad is overrated, they are not from Europe but they are not even close to it. Also, Di Francesco lost Simeone for a fair period, but really tactically it is very interesting how he is finding a balance between his tactical dictates and the characteristics of the team.

STROPPA (All. Crotone): vote 6
Not that we can ask who knows what. Crotone has limited resources, not just at the bank, and Stroppa does what he can. Coherent perhaps too much in playing certain games with Zemanian defense, but actually also pragmatic in realizing the limits. Watch out for the last change in the victory against Parma, with Simy on the bench and Riviere teaming up with Messias.

IACHINI / PRANDELLI (All. Fiorentina): vote 3.5
Personally, I thought that Fiorentina was the possible surprise of the championship on paper. And instead, Iachini scored 8 points in 7 days and Prandelli 6 points in the next 7 days. The starting eleven is worth the Europa League. But it’s the mindset that has kept the performance on the ground, more than tactics or anything else. But the victory in Turin can change the whole season and the voting is therefore bound to grow.

MARAN (All Genoa): vote 4 (Ballardini sv)
The Covid storm has certainly had its toll, restoring readiness for some. But Genoa has seen well, they have formed a squad even with some national teams, something that few can afford in the lower half of the table, but they never had clear ideas about how to play.

COUNT (All. Inter): vote 5
He has to fight for the Scudetto and he is doing it. It’s true the game has gotten worse, but last year it produced a lot and raised less. There is time to improve, against Crotone he will aim for the eighth consecutive victory that Inter have not achieved since 2008 with Mourinho. So why 5? Obviously, because qualifying for the Champions League was the minimum, and in fact you could try to win the group. Overall, the obligation to win has crushed Inter and Conte is failing to free them. It’s true that wins help to be sure, but last year it was a joy to try to get Inter already lost, and that would probably make every performance easier. But of course, when you have -1 in your head, it means you have everything to change that vote widely.

PIRLO (All. Juventus): vote 6
It is the average between 7.5 deserved in the Champions League and 4.5 in the League. In Europe it is true that half of the group was unpresentable, but the feat at the Camp Nou allows us to plan the season ahead of the quarterfinals. In the League, on the other hand, the balance is tragic, given that Juve has the best squad with Inter, but with the uniqueness of Cristiano Ronaldo, they are still asking for a sixth place, which is true that they can be third with recovery. , but that for good it would not happen of the -7 of the head. In general, after 4 months of work it is clear that Pirlo’s ideas are still not clear. And for the love of God, it’s normal and fair too, but this is the state of the art. Above all, the control room that underlies the team is missing, which for Pirlo is a real retaliation.

SIMONE INZAGHI (All. Lazio): vote 5.5
In truth, Simoncino does what he can, because if in two market sessions the bulk of the purchases went to Vavro and Muriqi, it is clear then that Lazio has been playing almost the same team for two years and yet they fight first for the Scudetto and then for the Champions. Clear path in Europe, where however they started as the second force in the group, while in Serie A between Udinese and Benevento the next few months became difficult. However, Inzaghino always knows how to face great challenges, although the double change Immobile-Miliinkovic Savic at 75 ‘that cost Milan and that he risked to cost Europe has already been programmed by Giacobbo as one of the great mysteries to face in the next season of Voyager.

PIOLI (All Milan): vote 8
The grade is 8 and it is even low, but only because we are only a third of the season. But it was close to perfection. At first he made the points and defeated the defense. He later reacted to the difficulties by keeping the bar straight. To some extent, there were results, but objectively Milan was not that good. Finally, from Napoli onwards, the good game also arrived, dominant but like a young team that beats you with dynamism, career, freshness and enthusiasm. And in all this face absences everywhere, to affect a limited staff if compared to six other rivals. Pioli has even invented solutions from scratch like Saelemaekers and Gabbia. And above all, a wardrobe spell where each problem does not provoke the complaint but rather the search for a solution. It sure benefits you to have nothing to lose, but it’s not easy!

GATTUSO (All Naples): vote 6
Ups and downs as normal, maybe someone had the illusion that the victory in the Italian Cup was an epiphany that took away all the problems, but it could not be like that. Osimehn’s prolonged injury was a major chant in an unfolding tactical project, in which Ringhio had the courage to pitch a 4-2-3-1 with 4 forwards. Of course there is the chronic problem of coherence, but you also have to look at the reality of the facts: Napoli has a fourth-place squad, and that championship is doing it. Furthermore, having played for 3 months with the 0-3 and -1 backpack was a psychological burden that Gattuso was good at lightening, and it was by no means taken for granted that it was possible to render it harmless. In Naples they are perhaps too critical.

LIVERANI (All. Parma): vote 6
Perhaps Krause thought he created a half table team, but that is not the case. Too young, maybe he’ll grow up, but he’s from the waterline above the descent. Liverani has given up the beautiful offensive football of Lecce to play a defense and a counterattack more marked than that of D’Aversa, and after all, if the characteristics of the players are those, little can be done.

FONSECA (All Rome): rating 7.5
The squad has not been specially reinforced, but Fonseca has made it credible for the Champions League and also for a little more. In practically four months he only disconnected in the last half hour in Bergamo, which is also a field in which it can happen to you. Usual tactical fantasy in the invention of solutions, habitual bad luck with varied absences in all departments and the exaltation of Pedro and especially Mkhitaryan. The fact is that Fonseca has given above all mental solidity to the team, which later also became defensive solidity, and Roma for once have to fight only with their opponents and not with ghosts in their heads, which for the Giallorossi usually being was the worst problem. And to think that if he had lost against Juventus they would have fired him …

RANIERI (All. Sampdoria): vote 7
It will not steal your eye, but in the meantime Ranieri always finds the solution with what is in the house. Also, the two highest quality men, Quagliarella and Ramírez, have long been unavailable or up to par, but Sister Claudio hasn’t turned a corner. And this seraphic being has had a positive impact on everyone.

FROM ZERBI (All. Sassuolo): vote 8
The first part of the season playing the best football in Italy. Then, practically from the entrance to the field of Caputo’s groin, adapting the weaknesses of the team to get the maximum possible, also giving that last mental leap that is required of the coaches of the greats. And he becomes fourth, which is absurd for Sassuolo.

ITALIAN (All. Spezia): vote 7
Never giving up, never sparagnino, which leads to expressing in the field a group much lower than the category. He is making a small masterpiece, although the unscrupulous attitude of the last two months has made him collect quite a bit. In addition to the discovery of Nzola, a true revelation of the championship so far.

GIAMPAOLO (All. Turin): vote 4
Perhaps the roster is overrated, with especially a hideously small midfield. But it is not possible to go out on the field pursued by the subconscious, against which Torino must first fight even against opponents. Sometimes Giampaolo looks like a scrambled Rodin, and perhaps the players feel it.

GOTTI (All. Udinese): vote 6
Hardly anyone would make fake cards to see a Udinese game, which has a fairly well-known game, based on the De Paul axis, whoever is in front. But at least Gotti is not complicating it and has also allowed himself to take some satisfaction like the victory in Lazio.

JURICO (All Verona): vote 7
The presence of Benevento does not allow Verona to be surprised, but once again Juric is making the cake with the advanced and crushed snacks, to which we must also subtract the Croatian Kalinic. Even up to the Inter game he had been undefeated against the big teams, which only gives an idea of ​​what it could be with a real market.
