According to Walter Mazzarri, reliability is the word that should characterize the captain from a human point of view. The Inter coach figured out that Ranocchia possessed this quality during their face-to-face last January. As for his technique, the Inter player did arouse some doubt and the player must continue to convince the coach every day with his leadership. He must also learn to balance his role at Inter with the prospects offered to him at the national team.

According to Hire Jean-Claude Blanc as Marco Branca’s replacement, “LIABILITY” is the word that should characterize the captain
Got treble?
Ever been relegated?
Did you watch him play against Holland last week? clearly he’s the weakest link on the defense. He definitely needs more playing time to gain some confidence.
Wow! Who knew you could actually make comments that were not snide remarks every single time!
Do you watch him play against Norway ?
Zanetti’s had an amazing career, playing at the highest level for so many years, won everything, being the heart and engine of the team. He leaves heavy boots to fill. I wish Ranocchia luck, I’ve always liked him. I think his problems defensively are tactical, as he’s often not where he should be. But 1on1 he’s a rock. Also he’s back in the Italy squad now and working with Conte, so that’ll be a boost for him. I hope he gets better with every year.
when bergomi retired, people also has doubt about zanetti as captain. even i did. not to mention recoba. and there were many player with better technical and better experience than him by then. but hell, he proved himself to be the team’s heart and soul. so let rano try to prove that he can be this team’s leader
well technically, the first choice after Bergomi was ronaldo. but he even barely play at that time.
so it passed to Zanetti, the longest ‘man in service’.
there were several older players such as Blanc, Di Biaggio, and Baggio.
but Blanc and Di Biaggio were newcomer.
while Baggio, you know, he had problem with lippi.
so Zanetti was the best choice at that time.
After Buffon’s retirement, I wish Ranocchia to become a new captain of Azzurri.
what////….???? derossi is there
