A name unknown to the fans of Al-Nasr and Al-Ain teams contributed to the joys of the Italian national team during the current European Cup "Euro 2020", despite having worked in the "Brigadier" and "leader" under the leadership of coach Walter Zenga, and it comes to the Italian Gianni Vio, who works Assistant coach of the "Azzurri" Roberto Mancini, who is described as the mastermind of the free kicks that helped the team reach the final, as he has many different ways to implement them.
The style of the Italian team impressed many during the current tournament with their fast attacking method, but there was another aspect that was no less dangerous, as the team proved that free kicks are a decisive weapon as well, and among the optimal was the goal scored by Matteo Pesina against the Welsh team from a free kick he had trained. It has players a lot, as two players stand in the offside position in order to confuse the defense line and the opponent's goalkeeper, and it is one of the models that he sets.
Gianni Vio, the former banker, told the Italian newspaper, “Venice,” that all he needs is to analyze the players’ performance and find solutions tailored to their skill. There are players who have a good reading of the method at the highest levels, and here comes to mind the new Paris Saint-Germain defender, Sergio Ramos. The most important thing is the right timing."
And when Italy faces its rival England tomorrow in the final match (Euro 2020), any free kick will be carried out by the "Azzurri" will be engraved in the subconscious of the players, as it is one of the many methods that have been trained during the last period, and it is the result of a long experience gained by Gianni Vio. From his work in many clubs.
Walter Zenga said in an interview with the Italian newspaper "The Athletic" that when he took over the training of Al Ain team in 2007, he hired coach Gianni Vio in his staff to train the team on free kicks, and after he moved to Catania, Italy later, he insisted on appointing him with him in the same job.
Zinga added: “Only an eccentric person like me would ask a person who worked as a banker and coach outside the league to be among my technical staff in my first job in the first division. We scored 44 goals, including 17 from free kicks."
Walter Zenga said: "Mancini knows the tournament is short, it's seven games, and the set pieces can help define it. If they win the title and bring it back to Italy for the first time since 1968, it's thanks to a 66-year-old former banker."
Vieux added: "Last year, coach Mancini called me, he was aware of the importance of the free-kick weapon, we met in Bologna, shook hands and I started working with him last September."
