Former England boss Fabio Capello has claimed that Romelu Lukaku, Tammy Abraham and even Victor Osimhen are ‘just normal’ strikers amid Italy’s shock World Cup exit. The reigning European champions were stunned on Thursday night as they fell to a slender 1-0 defeat to North Macedonia.
The reverse means that the Nerazzurri have failed to qualify for the tournament set to take place in Qatar during the winter, whilst they were also absent from the 2018 edition in Russia. Following the defeat, former England and Real Madrid manager Capello had his say on the result and claimed that the style and speed of play in Serie A is to blame for the country’s failure to reach the tournament.
Speaking with Sky Italia, he said: “There is a high pace in European competition and we are not accustomed to it.
