“ It’s one of the most important matches of my career. I’ve had some before and this match is at that level. At my age (65), we know there are stories to tell. You need stories to tell and this match can determine a story. » Luciano Spalletti did not beat around the bush when discussing this great classic of European football which will pit his team againstItaly
to Spain.
Sluggish winner against Albania for its first match (2-1), the Nazionale is back at it again against the ogre of this very tough group. A success would therefore propel Italy into the round of 16. And to achieve this, Spalletti will still have to make strong choices.
Italy with all its strength
The good news, for the Italian technician, is that Italy will be able to count on all its strength this time. After a preparation truncated by last minute packages, the Squadra Azzura relies on a homogeneous group.
Italy should therefore present themselves in a 4-2-3-1 eleven with Scamacca at the forefront of the attack. The Atalanta center forward could be supported by the Frattesi-Pellegrini-Chiesa trio. In the middle, Jorginho and Barella hold up, while the Bastoni-Calafiori hinge is expected. Di Lorenzo and Dimarco should continue on the sides. The irremovable Donnarumma will hold his place in the goals.
The expected line-up for Italy : Donnarumma – Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori, Dimarco – Jorginho, Barella – Frattesi, Pellegrini, Chiesa – Scamacca.
