DORTMUND – The right start. The round of 16 on the horizon, a beautiful Italy and the critical sense of Spalletti because it would be a mistake to get too excited. The road to Berlin is correct, but there are also many aspects to improve, as the coach underlined. Two certainties: fromAlbania at the Spain the level is raised, but winning helps you breathe. Self-esteem, awareness, different perspectives. An invaluable advantage: the unknowns have disappeared. Spalletti has received confirmation from the pitch, now we can grow. Festive atmosphere and applause for the Azzurri in the Iserlohn training camp, thanks to the competition reserved for Italian schools in Germany.
Italy, training open to the public
The coach opened training to the public. Children went into a frenzy when they appeared on the field Stretcher, Marco’s, Sticks, Scamacca and the heroes of Westphalian Stadium. Lucio brought onto the pitch the players who were not used or entered in the final with Albania. Tactical exercises and tests not aimed at the next match against Spain but to implement the Azzurri’s wealth of knowledge. A youth selection of Borussia Dortmund (reinforced by Vicario, Gatti, Bellanova and Folorunsho) allowed us to organize a practice match. Form 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1. Before Meret Italy’s defensive line was formed by Darmian, Left-handed, Good morning And Cambiaso. Cristante And Beans the midfield tandem. El Shaarawy And Zaccagni the offensive wingers. Raspadori And Retegui attacking pair. Great goal from Fagioli, brace from Retegui. Spalletti was satisfied with the training.
