Beloved crisis: Italy clings to history to overcome a bad phase and seek penta

Fasted for seven games and no team formed, Azzurra use problems 82 and 2006 as an example to respond: "We need to seduce the crowd," says Prandelli                                                                                                                                                                Experiencing a crisis on the eve of a World Cup can not be that bad. Especially if the selection is involved Italy. Far from being considered one of the favorites to win in Brazil, the Azzurri runs outside and relies on its turbulent history in the World to get the penta. Even the coach Cesare Prandelli doubt the power that the moments of breakdown can have on their players.

This time, there are two problems that put an enormous cloud of doubt about the Italians: the team has not won since September 10 last year when they beat the Czech Republic by 2-1 and secured a place in the Cup. After that, you lose once and tied six others. The last equality was meaningless before the selection of Luxembourg.

The pressure is also on Prandelli. The Italian press charges for the coach does not have a ready tactical and a team assembled. Desconversa He says that a team can have various strategies over the same match and should not reveal the formation before the opener against England, 14th in Manaus.

- History shows that it is common for the Italian national team to respond in times of trouble. Can be a stimulus, but you can do good things even without crisis. Let's use it to grow - said the commander.

 

 The last two world titles in Italy came amid problems. Paolo Rossi, Brazilian hero Azurra and executioner in 82, came to be trapped by involvement in a match-fixing scandal results.The same charges back in 2006, debunking Juventus to Serie B.

There is also the distrust of the population. Prandelli believes it will only end with the good team work, as happened in 2012, winning the European vice-champion - eliminated Germany in the semifinals, but lost to Spain in the decision.  - We need to seduce the crowd that she has confidence and I'm proud of us. She expected something more. In our country, everyone is against everyone, but we are united against the institutions. We should try not to be negative. We think we can be better than the other teams.

The coach says she's not worried about the number of poor results. Italy debut in the World Cup against England on 14 at the Arena Amazonia in Manaus. Group D also has Uruguay and Costa Rica.

- We analyze the errors and what we did well. We have to improve, but I'm optimistic.
