🚨🇮🇹 Paolo Maldini and Leonardo RESIGN from their roles as Italy Federation technical director and advisor.
Decision to leave the project just 10 days after joining due to president Malagò being against appointing Andrea Pirlo as new head coach for Italian national team.
The president didn’t approve Pirlo due to his connections with Russian brands; Maldini and Leonardo only wanted Pirlo and leave their roles immediately.
'It was an extension of how Argentina had acted for the past six weeks, committing the most fouls of any team and backing themselves to see off every challenge through sheer belligerence.
'How fitting that such a crude approach should finally be crushed by Spain, the consummate technicians, and that Fernández should play the fall guy.
'After all, this was not the first time the midfielder had behaved reprehensibly. It was not even the first time this week. Against England he had announced himself in the semi-final by whacking Elliot Anderson on the back of the head, before celebrating his goal with a gesture to suggest that his critics had too much to say. Topo Gigio, it is called in Argentina, where a player cups his hands behind his ears and invites his adversaries to keep talking.'
Except in Fernández’s case, as @oliverbrown_tel says, they arguably do not talk enough 👇

È stato l’hatewatch più difficile di sempre in un mondiale. Ma vederli perdere così in finale, vedere il Dibu in lacrime, Paredes e Otamendi impazziti, Fernandez espulso, Scaloni che lascia la conferenza stampa e Adani ammutolito….posso dire che è sicuramente valsa l’attesa
Gesto volgare e meschino della nazionale argentina durante la premiazione della Spagna che ha vinto correttamente e meritatamente
Dalle immagini che abbiamo visto, ed altre che stanno emergendo, Fifa dovrebbe aprire una seria sessione disciplinare e imporre sanzioni esemplari.
Se Messi fosse veramente un personaggio positivo e non un piagnone falso come una moneta da 3 euro, li avrebbe obbligati a girarsi. Invece è il giusto capitano di questa squadra di zozzoni che non accetta nemmeno onorevolmente di perdere, dopo una prestazione indegna.
