Why did Italy lose the World Cup?

Since Buffon and Pirlo were injured, Cassano and Balotelli were not selected for various reasons, and the Italian team lacked a soul and a spiritual leader. At the critical moment, no one can stand up, no one can play the role of anchoring the sea, no one can come out and play the role of leading the organization-not only the striker lacks star-level powerful figures, but also the figures who decide the outcome of the game; Giuliano Grazioli is not like a real midfielder, but like a shadow striker. He is powerless in attack. ......

The strength of the Italian team is not as good as before, and it has a lot to do with the over-reliance on foreign aid in the Italian local league in the past four years, which has caused the marginalization of local players and failed to deliver excellent players for the national team. Cannavaro's "deformation" in the defense line (losing two goals in two games, it is obvious that the former World Footballer of the Year has become an old man in world football), the midfield is extremely lacking in organizational ability, dominance and creativity, and finally no one is available in the forward line ...............................................................................................

However, as Lippi himself, his second coaching career was not satisfactory. On the one hand, the selection of players pays too much attention to personal preferences and experience, while ignoring the strength and state of players; On the other hand, Lippi's player position is changeable. It should be said that Lippi has not adjusted a lineup for the second time coaching the national team, and has not even decided who will play which position.

In a word, Italy after Baggio actually lacks that kind of artistry and creativity. After the absence of pierrot and Totti, only the "great left-back" and specific defense were left, leaving only boring scenes and boring mistakes. It was the fourth time in the history of the World Cup that I went home from the last championship group match. However, maybe this is not necessarily a bad thing. After the defeat, I started from scratch. Will the Azzurri regain their glory in a few years? Let's wait and see.
