TEN GOOD REASONS TO TRUST HIM
1 - Educator Inter did not choose a friend for the dressing room, but an educator of the game by explaining to the boys football. One that plays good football as well as conveys a clear, tactical identity. This is what Inter need after such a confused year: from the character of Mourinho, to the pontificated flashes of Benitez and finally to the spirits of Leonardo. One that teaches a patrimony of shared ideas and then renews them for difficult times. A coach, not a star manager.
2 - Quality The teams of Gasperini, although small, have always played with great mentality: dribble low to the ground, dynamic, constant search of possession. An ambition that will be praised by other coaches. Comparing to Benitez, Gasperini has the advantage of having his former students in the dressing room like Motta, Milito and Ranocchia who may facilitate the task. The availability of the heroes of the treble will be important.
3 - Much tested Gasperini is a craftsman who has demonstrated the value of his workshop in the province. Like Allegri, Mazzari and Conte. A common thread linking the four: the right balance between experience and ambitions. Gasperni will not have the embarrassment of the beginners like Ferrara, Leo and Montella. His hunger will rebuild the appetite at Inter. He didn't win anything big? Nothing for Bersellini and Invernizzi, before a Scudetto. Even Sacchi and Allegri, before arriving in Milan. Lippi was full of glory but at Inter he did not win anything.
4 - Estimation of colleagues Many big names were mentioned like Bielsa, Villas Boas, Capello but for Mourinho, Gasperini is "the best". The fans can judge based on the victories but coaches judge based on what they see on the field. "Gasperini responded to every of my move. He is very good," said Mou. In Genoa, the players were told to watch the bench more than what is going on on the field because of the way Gasperini directing the game. Gasperini knows how to impact a match. The matches like the derby and against Schalke should not happen again. Now Inter have a real coach.
5 - Character Gasperini will never have the thunder like Mourinho but he doesn't lack the character. One who left 4 stitches on the lip of Maradona can certainly stand up to the senior players at Appiano which has many Argentinians. Another example? At Juve, he did not want to get into Gea. "A coach must remain free," he explained. A refusal for such a young coach in that early part of his career.
6 - Common sense Character, but also good manners and common sense, are needed at Inter. Gasperini has already shown his sense by coming to Inter without requesting a full staff. He would have brought Rampulla and Ventrone, two Juventini, to Palermo. But at Inter, which is another world, he avoided it.
7 - Versatility Gasperini has definite ideas but also the flexibility to adapt to the context. At Genoa, the defense of 3 showed that it is not a dogma and the players can move anywhere (Marco Rossi). So if Sneijder doesn't start, Gasperini will find another way. Of course, if Moratti could give him some help by entering the transfer market, like he did with Leonardo and not with Benitez, chances of success will rise.
8 - Turnover Guessing the formations of Gasperini has never been easy. Gasp loves to make changes. A valuable feature in a big club that has to compete on several fronts. Inter, last season, paid heavily in terms of fatigue.
9 - Preziosi Gasperini was the coach of a more "resisted" president in Preziosi for 4 years. Good training for possible storms in Milan.
10 - Derby Gasperini brought Genoa back to win the derby after 7 years and now the team has scored three in a row: a record. In short, unlike Leo, he knows how. The first official derby for Gasperini will be the Italian Super Cup in Beijing on August 6. Of course, if things go wrong, Moratti will repeat the "full satisfaction" which was announced yesterday and will protect him with the great wall of China. Gian Piero Gasperini deserves patience and trust.
