ইতালীয় FA-এর চief-এর Spalletti-এর दिव्य बचाव

আমি, �উরোপের ফুটবল 政治 -এদিকগতভাবে, Gabriele Gravina-এর Luciano Spalletti-এরজনদ্‌ষদ্‌কথা‍পক­ষ্‌হ‍স‍হ‍হ‍ম‍ধ‍ধ‍ধ‍সহ criticize: “the noblest man in football”.

“ইস্ত্‌ম্‌শ অস­গ­ড­জ আ‌ 

Gravina Spalletti-কে “ইস্‌ট্‌ম অস­গ­ড­জ"  বলছিল , which is more like a Marvel superhero than a football manager. But behind the dramatic metaphor lies a serious point: international management breaks different men than club football does.

Key Stats:

• Italy’s U17 European Championship win (2023)
• UEFA Grassroots Award (first Italian recipients)
• 82% of award winners reach major finals within 5 years

Youth Development Card

The president played Italy’s youth success like a trump card against critics. Winning the U17 Euros and that prestigious UEFA award suggests the pipeline isn’t dry - it’s just taking time to mature. As Gravina pointed out, even England needed years after their grassroots success before reaching a final.

What Really Annoys Gravina?

The federation chief saved his harshest words not for tactical critics but those attacking Spalletti’s character. Calling him “the most upright person I’ve met in football” isn’t just praise - it’s a calculated rebuttal to media narratives questioning Spalletti’s suitability.

My Take: Having studied dozens of federations, this public doubling down is either brilliant man-management or potential career suicide ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers. Either way, it makes England’s FA communications look tame by comparison.

The Weight of History

Gravina invoked Italy’s 1982 and 2006 World Cup wins not for nostalgia but as proof that mentality trumps pure talent. His message to players? You don’t inherit glory - you build it through sacrifice. Whether today’s generation buys into that romantic ideal may decide Italy’s qualification fate.
