Common Sense, Nonsense, and Everything in Between

Luis Enrique dan Di Matteo

Prestasi Roma 2011/2012 bisa dikatakan jelek. Pemain baru yang masuk di awal musim seperti membawa angin segar, katakanlah Stek, Osvaldo, Pjanic, Kjaer, Bojan, hingga new-found goal getter Booorrrrini. Luis Enrique di”duga” akan membawa sukses Barcelona ke Roma. Tetapi, Roma ternyata tidak juga bisa sesukses zaman Capello.

Terakhir, Roma kalah manis dari Juventus 0-4. Bah. I blame Luis Enrique. LE.

Ada yang lantas menulis “Why should we blame LE?”, “Changing LE will not solve the problem!”. Well, you should tell Chelsky! Chelsea mengganti AVB dengan Roberto di Matteo dan dalam 15 pertandingan, di Matteo mencatat 10 kemenangan, 4 seri, 1 kalah. Chelsea lolos ke Final Champions League.

Dalam situasi seperti Roma, mengganti pelatih adalah pilihan paling tepat. He should be responsible for all this “mess”. Roma adalah tim dengan defense terburuk dalam 12 besar Liga Italia. He failed. He had picked his new recruits, he had the authority with the lineup and strategy. Those are the areas he failed most. I don’t get it when they couldn’t sign good defender. Heinze and Burdisso? Not type of players who will need to defense against Matri, Ibrahimovic!

Apakah mengganti pelatih akan mengubah nasib? Sangat mungkin, jika pemilihan pelatihnya tepat. Orang paling tepat saat ini adalah Fabio Capello (well… he prefer staying in London though), kemudian I would be thrilled with Prandelli (unlikely!), even I like Spalletti more!
