Between Saturday and Sunday was held the first round of post-Christmas mini-leagues of the Regional Committee Lombardo, with good results for Victor
Rho.
The newcomers have taken a very clear victory
to 83-19 on a
Nerviano MB Lainate , one of many teams set up by F. Pompa. Mister
Pinese was quick to minimize, but the game was at least a pretty good blow to the morale of the team.
Victory for the eagles of Francis
Pessina, who
Sant'Ilario of Nerviano exceed 30 points
the UPN Team coached by Luca Parini.
squirrels are rather have lost the match with
Bresso, much stronger training for three reasons: 1) the tank is young
Olimpia Milano, 2) have kids who play more of our time, 3) on average one more year. The final result was 48-5, the difference
was nothing short of clear, but in the last two quarters saw something that made me very happy. I particularly appreciated the commitment
of children, which at times have even messed up ... What I mean is that it can teach to play the character but not, so it will seem strange, but from a 5-48 I came home with a smile.
We come now to a question addressed to me by e-mail from Benedetto Rossi Piacenza.
Benny is a big fan of
Baggio and writes me: "You know the Olympic team that trained
Zoff ahead of the Olympics in 1988? You know Roberto Baggio
has never been called on that team from
Zoff ? I'm sure it never went into action and most likely is not even ever been on the bench, but I read somewhere that he had been called in to
Zoff Olympic team, even just for one game before the event proper, to which Italy
not know if he participated
NEAC, as happened in 1996 instead or in other circumstances. Maybe
any call was signed by
Zoff even for a simple friendly game or qualifications, however, both in its Olympic team. "
The question is really difficult and not respond in full at the time, but I promise to do extensive research. Right now I can make some partial reconstructions, especially for those who know less than
Benny Links .
First of all, the Olympics until 1992 were devoted to a sort of National B: from 1930, ie when he organized a true World Cup, FIFA has opposed the Olympic tournament, as its success would undermine their competition. For example, when Italy
was gold in Berlin in 1936, under the guidance of Vittorio Pozzo, was in camp with a university education. In 1988 in the Italian
and other large national panchinari played basically the senior national. The current formula is instead intended to
Under 23 + three possible overage
.
Indeed as you say yourself has never played in the national Olympic but you can call it a bench or resulting in the stands.
time Baggio had already developed extensively in light in Serie A with Fiorentina and then drew himself up to
great interest.
In 1988, however, was not used to organize stage like today, nor
there would be time to do so, given that the timetable for Olympic qualification was pretty thick.
in football today is conquered through the Olympic qualification tournaments continental
Under 21 and similarly the case with other sports. Previously, however, things went differently: they contended that pre-Olympic tournament gave
access to the final stage (this practice is not for football from Barcelona in 1992 while sport and other continents have abandoned the 4 years at different times).
occasion, Seoul
1988,
Italy qualify by winning a round-robin
with Portugal, East Germany, the Netherlands and Iceland. Then participates in the final stage with 15 other teams, in the group deals with Guatemala, Zambia and Iraq. Despite the opposing
easy qualifies as the second: after winning 5-2 with Guatemala came a historic 0-4 with Zambia, whose players will die 3 years later in a plane crash. The next round is due to the Iraq
2-0 and reach the semi-finals after 2-1 aet
with Sweden. The medals, however, fade with 3-2 defeat
dts with
3-0 with the USSR and West Germany. There remains the feeling that a tournament well played, but without a medal and a big stain.
During the matches of the Olympic
Baggio did not play even with the Under
21, then it is likely that the
Zoff took into account to use it. You should then be invited for a pre-Olympic match of the tournament, I promise to try to identify which one. Certainly, however, has not been convened for the final stage.
In 2000 she was repeatedly aired a presence in Sydney, but in that time
the
FIGC decided not to deploy any overage
to reward the team that had qualified by winning the European
category. This philosophy was carried out in toto, so that was not even called
Buffon, who also could play at that time having
only 22 years (but was already the largest national goalkeeper).
