Giocondo Martorelli: "Cap Verde Comes as a Surprise. Italy, Conte is the Right Man for Revival. Football Market Flat, Main Sales New Purchases. Money Dominates"

Argentina were underperforming, but Kap Verde showed they could compete with many teams: they were capable of playing well and when attacking could pose a threat. They have talented and interesting players. This was one of the most pleasant surprises of this World Cup. This was stated by Giocondo Martorelli in his interview with TuttoMercatoWeb.com. Who are the favorites for the World Cup? "France have the advantage, but problems can arise if the players think they are the strongest and use this quality in the wrong way." Italy did not qualify. "Unfortunately for the third time. I hope that with the arrival of Malagò, things can change by making significant changes in the program." Is Conte the right man? "Without a doubt, yes." What about the market in Serie A? "A flat market, not moving. Italian clubs don't have the resources. I spoke to several directors and unfortunately all of them want to sell first before buying. And selling is never easy for various reasons." Inter loses the Palestra. "This confirms that money always wins in the face of this dynamic. When a club offers more money to all parties, it is difficult to refuse, the choice inevitably falls on the most profitable offer. Many players do not think that a different path might provide an advantage in the future. The world has changed, whoever has more money dominates the market. And it is difficult to compete with English clubs."
