Turin, 9 June (LaPresse) – "Tonight's match? The players can't hide. Something different is needed. They have to run, honour the blue shirt and pass the ball less to the goalkeeper and more to the centre forward. There are no excuses. Tonight I want to see the fighting spirit that has been missing recently. I want to see people helping each other. At a sad time for Spalletti, it would be nice to leave with a good win, maybe with a nice “fuck you”, as if to say to the boys, “why didn't you do this before?!”". These were the words of Fabio Capello, coach and former national team manager, speaking on Radio Anch'io Sport on Rai Radio 1 about the crisis facing the national team, which today faces Moldova in its second qualifying match for the next World Cup. This is Luciano Spalletti's last match on the Azzurri bench. “The passivity of the other night was a terrible thing,” he continued. “Now there are no excuses. We want to see the players running, playing and helping their teammates again.” 'When you get to this point, everyone is responsible. Faced with such a disaster, you have to have the courage to admit your mistakes,' Capello added.
