Gentile and co. crash out

May 29th, 2006 | By: Jay | 1 Comment »

The ‘little Azzurri’ will be watching the rest of the U-21’s from home after a loss to Holland left them with only four points from three group phase matches. Most of the match reports I read would make it seem as though Italy controlled possession, and at times dominated, but couldn’t score. Sure, there were three goals against Denmark, but only one goal in the other 180 minutes and that came courtesy of Chiellini, not the forwards. Donadel didn’t play in the last match either, which didn’t help.

It was holding on to needing just one point that screwed the Azzurrini, catenaccio never works and Gentile was stupid enough to try and use it again.

Good thing the Azzurri are the real deal.
