Spallo,Sabatini,Skriniar,Icardi,Cancelo, Rafinha,Handa, Karamoh FUCKING ABSOLUTELY need to be here next season...no if's and but's
Losers like Ausilio, and some mentally weak players can fuck off...Eder in first line tbh

I don't like the criticizing the players in public bit especially when things were going well earlier in the season he kept saying how he's perfectly happy with the squad and we don't need any more signings. Just sounds hypocritical to say it now

Also it's about time he called out Suning and Ausilio in public....something he should have done a long time ago

Why's he complaining about the squad all of a sudden? During the mercato he was saying not to look to other players to save us, and to appreciate the players we have.

It is totally bullshit. This is the correct one:
If Cancelo plays badly on the right, someone will tell you he would do better 10 metres further forward. If he plays badly on the left, someone still tell you it’s because he should’ve been on the right. All players do that, him more than most. He is two-footed, can emerge from very difficult situations with the quality of a trequartista rather than a full-back, so I moved him to push more down that flank.

Thanks for this correct translation. Sounds like Spalletti was not criticising Cancelo, he was criticising FIF. :yao:

I like this "not Mr Nice guy anymore" routine by Spalletti. We need more of this.

He said that even his 80yo mother knews that Inter needs a CB and then he got a fourth choice CB from Benfica.

But the new translation make no sense, what does "All players do that, him more than most" mean? In that case it probably also is a mistranslation.

"All players switch positions occasionally. Cancelo has switched more, because he offers different qualities, such as *the following sentences mean praising*"

He should bash the collective effort in attack... wait he did
Calling out Cancelo by name ... that is the mistake ffs

Otherwise agree... finally a coach calls out this so called stars of ours out...they are not that good as they think they are

So you mean last night he bashed everyone by saying "my players don't have quality" but decided to praise Cancelo out of the bunch?

Come on man, get real. He was bashing everyone and specially Cancelo.

To be fair, if I can clear things up…

Football Italia translated the interview that Spalletti gave to Mediaset Premium and the words about Cancelo are indeed correct.
For those who wants to listen the original source (from 4:14): http://www.premiumsporthd.it/serie-a/video/inter-spalletti-cancelo-se-non-fa-bene-incolpa-la-posizione-in-campo--2018_11599.shtml

Answering a question by Riccardo Ferri (on why he inverted the fullbacks in the second half, knowing that the Cancelo "doesn't like to play on the left") Spalletti said “Ragazzi, Cancelo è uno che, se gioca male a destra, ti dice che...”, meaning: “Guys, Cancelo is someone who, if he plays a bad game on the right, tells you..." (that he should have played 10 meters ahead or 10 meters back and so on).
And he added that the Portuguese “does this more than the others” (implying that Cancelo blames his role for his performance, as an excuse, a bit too much).

I don’t know if he toned down or changed the concept with Sky (Bergomi, Vialli & co), Rai (Grandpa Sconcerti) or during the press conference - I guess so, and that's maybe where the confusion comes from - but those were the words that he initially used for Premium.

Well, we’ll see what the reactions will be against Samp.
In any case, once again, Trapattoni was right when he said that “coaching Inter is like being in a washing machine while it spin-dries”... even for a "madman" like Luciano.

OK whatever you say, I'm skeptical. Switching someone to all players seem a bit weird to me, it's like switching the context completely making tangential points.

Fucken lunatic.Instead of motivating the players and praising them for silencing Napoli , a team very few can claim to have kept at 0-0 for 180 minutes , he throws them under the bus and starts taking shots at the management now.In fucken March.4 points off our last 2 games.Go build on that.Build on how we made them look thoroughly toothless till he himself decided to take off Rafinha and replace him with Eder.You need to calm the environment.Not lose your own bloody marbles at this crucial stage.And no player in this squad is going to get motivated by this public bashing.Mancini did it and it didnt work.And this wont be working for Spalletti either.

Throwing the players under the bus is exactly what they should do, we've tried the bullshit free love approach before and all it does is get managers sacked

He should have thrown them under the bus after the Spal game or something.Not after a game where they held one of the best attacks in the league to a 0-0 draw and made them look toothless for the most part.This is simply not the time to show tough love.

I dont mind him calling them out but why the fuck did he not sub them out earlier? He obviously saw candreva and perisic sucking once again atleast bring karanoh earlier. Kind of weird to call them out after the game but do nothing during it to correct the problem!

Or, given they've just shown a good performance, the players know what their capable of and he's challenging them to show it every week?

And he said it again. Spalletti, you beauty! This is so spot on. If this does not fire up the players against Sampdoria, then nothing will.

Spalletti stands by Inter criticism
By Football Italia staff

Luciano Spalletti stands by his criticism of Inter - ‘often, against weaker teams, we have the impression that we can choose, accept a much lower level’.

The Coach slammed his team after the 0-0 draw with Napoli, declaring “there is simply a lack of quality” and lamenting “I don’t think that I can improve this performance with work in training”.

“All players who get to Serie A have quality,” Spalletti clarified after receiving the Albano Amarini award in Empoli.

“My concept of quality also includes personality and the desire to always run at 2000km/h.

“When you meet Napoli you’re forced to play at 2000km/h, when you meet Crotone you have to impose that on yourself. That must be our standard.

“Often, against weaker teams, we have the impression that we can choose, that we’re able to go slower, accepting a much lower level, a level which isn’t enough to win games we need to win.

“If we want to finish fourth we have to win at least six or seven games between now and the end of the season.

“Even then it might not be enough. We have to get used to playing with maximum stress.

“Milan Skriniar has these concepts inside him, and the personality and character to show them off.

“The time has come to take responsibility, sometimes you need to play to win the game. With Napoli we had a corner in injury time, but there were only four of our players in the box.

“It was the last chance…”

I have this fear...he will walk away when the season ends like he did in Roma...Suning didn't keep their promise of a stronger team for him tbh...if we don't reach CL...the chance will be very very high of his departure...I don't want that!

Suning should do everything in their power to make up for the past betrayal...and convince him to stay for the next 4-5 years ffs with players that can do what he wants...it's clear that many of this guys here can't do that!

for me

Spallo and Sabatini are the smartest guys in this club...and they are the new guys...as is Skriniar,Cancelo,Rafi

which is a clear fucking indication that the past is the problem...past mistakes and people from it

I'm not so convinced. Who, if not the coach, should be the one to give the players that urge to give their 100%? And did he do all he could to win against Napoli?

Anyways, we'll see with Sampdoria.

You just take a piece from a puzzle wanting to get a full picture. Spalletti has just changed his approach which is normal since he's defended these fuckers too long and after atrocious performances. i think it's normal and even a bit late.
