Francesco Acerbi surprisingly withdraws from the national team!

Francesco Acerbi has explained his resignation from the Italian national team. The 37-year-old withdrew a convocation for the World Cup qualification on Sunday, which he justified in social networks with a lack of respect. Acerbi's decision came a day after the lost Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended 0: 5. However, he emphasized that this game had nothing to do with its withdrawal.

Acerbi, which played a decisive role in the defense of Inter Milan, sums up his time under team boss Luciano Spalletti, who took a negative attitude towards Aterbi in the quarter -finals of the Nations League after the leakage of Italy. His achievements in Serie A, where Inter achieved second place, led to a rethink within the coaching staff.

reactions by Luciano Spalletti

Luciano Spalletti, coach of the Italian national team, reacted to Acerbi's withdrawal. He confirmed that he had received a message from Acerbi in which he rejected his participation in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Norway and Moldova. Spalletti accepted the defense lawyer's decision and made it clear that Acerbi had no injury. The withdrawal was carried out for personal reasons.

In the current season, Acerbi had shown important achievements, including a decisive goal against Barcelona in the Champions League. Nevertheless, age and the intensive burdens of the past season could be responsible for his retreat, said the trainer.

context of the withdrawal

The situation around Acerbi comes at a time when resignation is also lectured in German football. Manuel Neuer, 38-year-old goalkeeper at Bayern Munich, ended his career in the national team after 14 years. He became world champion with Germany in 2014 and his farewell creates new opportunities for young players like Marc-André Ter Stegen, who can now act as the first choice.

Andreas Köpke, a former DFB goalkeeper coach, was pleased with the decision of Neuers, which-like that of Acerbi-is also influenced by personal reasons. Both resignation raises questions about the future of both national teams and how they will deal with the changes.

In the upcoming World Cup qualification, Italy starts on Friday in Norway, followed by a home game against Moldova on Monday. The team will have to go into the decisive games without Acerbi, while the coaches and fans observe the changes in the national team with concern and tension.
