#SacchiOut#Unwatchable, #Cookedvery long posts to explain how wrong the choice to bring was Baggio e Zola and not Mancini o Lombardo. If there had been social media, on July 5, 1994, starting more or less at 7 pm Italian time, they would have been full of hashtag and similar comments. That the love for this national team has never really blossomed, for that coach who has never managed to replicate that game with which he had dominated the world in Red-black. No: he had previously risked not going to the World Cup in States Unitedhitting twice against the Swiss and also against the Scotlandsolving the issue at San Siro in the 38th minute of the second half with Dino Baggio against Portugal. And it had risked not even reaching the round of 16. Boston. Very very seriously risked given the horror debut with theEiredefeated by the goal of Houghtonthe heartfelt victory against the Norway with ten men and a disappointing one-to-one draw against Mexico. Results that had postponed the qualification discussion to the repechage ranking of the best third-placed teams, with Italy last of the 4 repechages finding itself in its path against Nigeria. A good draw, all things considered, especially compared to the possibility Argentinaalthough Sacchi does not share the same opinion: “They are like the BrazilI would have preferred to face Argentina because they have African strength and a European mentality”. The trusty Little Charles Ancelottisince it was up to him, at the time, to go and look at the Africa Cup of Nations to study the probable world opponents: there were no social networks, there wasn’t even Youtube.
Many see the pearl in “Mimmo” Olisehconsidered “the new Desailly”, for Ancelotti instead they only have “the colour of their skin” in common, while the greatest dangers according to Carletto are “Finidivery fast left wing, and Trust me: but if we don’t make him put the game on a physical level we won’t have any difficulties”. The boy will make it, meaning Ancelotti: it will be quite clear at the time of Facebook e Youtubesince in the unbearable heat of Boston Nigeria takes the game to the physical level, after a good start from Italy, and Amunike scores after a mistake on a corner kick by none other than Paolo MaldiniThe clock is ticking, the heat is on go crazythe Nigerians handle it better (really?) and the referee Brizio Carter It also allows you to hit quite a bit, except to kick out Zola for a very dubious foul on an opponent who is twice the size of the Sardinian. In short, at the 75th minute we are in tencooked and harmless: practically out of the World Cup without ever having convinced, without ever having played well, having reached the eighth finals without flashes of top class (that Baggio there, then, practically useless except to call Sacchi crazy) and clinging to the good will of a honest median like Dino Baggio and the calculator Fifa.
The suitcases are ready, the processes pure: there are none smartphoneand to tell someone that thirty years later we would be writing #Sacchiout would have led the gaze to run from telephone to the face of the one who made such a prophecy, mimicking Baggio against Bags after the replacement with the Norway and using the disk of the telephone to dial the nearest mental health center. If they had also told him that thirty years later there would be something called Was which in that match would have brought more than five or six penalties for Italy between penalties and netthe revocation of the expulsion of Zola and some red for the Nigerians, they would have called The Exorcist. But it’s 1994 and as the minutes tick by the options there are two: wait for the interviews on Rai or go to the bar to share the poisoned with friends. And he wants to rage against Nigeria, denying that cliché that the revelation of the World Cup 1994 is only the result of an exuberant physicality, starting to play for time in front of the inventors of playing for time. It’s the eighty-eighth minute, Mussi wins a rebound, offers to Baggio in the center of the area: he scores, everything changes. He changes his Worldthe national team changes, the attitude of the team changes Nigeria who loses all confidence and relies only on physicality: to sink Benarrivo literally throwing yourself on top of him is too much even for Briziowho awards a penalty. Baggio scores, Rashid Yekini he can’t do it even with an empty net. Everything has changed. Luckily there is still no Facebookthey don’t have to change millions of hashtags and posts.
