(ANSA) – PERUGIA, 15 JUN – “The result speaks for itself. I haven’t even read the newspapers this morning”: Coni president Giovanni Malagò is succinct on the 2-5 defeat of the Italian national football team against Germany. Malagò, at the end of the Giunta that took place in Perugia, premising that he had not seen the match, underlined that “in sport, even when things are very negative, you either have the possibility to make a comeback or paradoxically you have already made a comeback.
Yesterday I called Paolo Nicolato who qualified with Italy Under 21 winning with Ireland 4-1 in a very convincing way and I would like to remind you that that is the Olympic team. And as you know, football hasn’t gone to the Olympics for many years and this leaves us very hopeful. So on the day when football gave us a decidedly negative performance, we are very, very happy with the U21. “
Regarding the defeat with Germany, Malagò spoke of “unequivocal” data and statistics. “I think one is back on the ground – he added – because objectively when you experiment, you field many young players and rookies, especially against a team like Germany, it shouldn’t happen but what happened can happen. It is clear that the path passes from moments in which we feel back in vogue to painful ones like last night. This is a fact but we should not get too excited or excited if we do a good result with these guys but we should not get depressed if things they went like this, because it is clear that the defeat is still heavy “.
Malagò also spoke of coach Roberto Mancini calling him “the most suitable person of all”. “That’s what I think – he concluded – and I’ve always said it: Roberto Mancini must make a virtue of necessity. It happened to him in a sensationally almost miraculous way with the European Championship, then what happened with the qualification happened. at the world championships. Sport – concluded Malagò – is also this “. (HANDLE).
