Donadoni is the most clueless manager ever.
But the real reason for Italy's terrible form is because
they lost the Juve spirit.
1. Cannavaro was a happy man, then lost his only 2 championships and thrown to a foreign team with no joy.
2. Buffon still didn't grasp what he pledged to do for the next 2 years not playing in Europe , that's a huge trauma.
3. Zambrotta lost all interest of football after the WC + scandal.
4. Camoranesi is not even in the squad after the terrible incidents in his POV.
5. Del Piero, the spirit and the mascot, is not even in the plans.
That's the Juve spirit that was lost, everyone was bummed out, with the main pivot of the spirit :
6. Lippi, a true Juventino and a winner. Gone.
So what can you expect - add to it non Juve issues :
7. Clueless new manager with no record.
8. Totti gone, replaced as NUMBER 10 by someone who Lippi didn't even consider for 18 months and for good reason.
9. Best Italian striker not even in the squad - Luca Toni.
10. Someone like Semioli actually starts instead of Marchionni and Maresca is still not convoked.....
And you have 10 reasons right there. Then again, the season didn't start so everyone not in shape, especially someone like Barzagli who Donadoni convoked just because he was in the WC but of no current merit - hence, clueless.
