What really happened to Italy this year?
Italy was the defending champion and had a lot of pressure because of that, which does not justify the way the players played. In my opinion Lippi made some wrong choices; players like Camoranesi, Zambrotta, Cannavaro, Gilardino, Iaquinta, Gattuso should have never come to South Africa. On top of that Lippi could not prepare the team well both mentally and physically. Against Slovakia it was rare to see some good passing, let alone shooting anywhere close to the net.
We can blame it on Lippi as much as we want, but let's not forget that four years ago, he did everything right and Italy was on top of the World.
Now the World Cup is over, and Lippi is gone...Let's pick up the broken pieces and let's start a new chapter.
Welcome Cesare Prandelli, good luck!
