Two days after his debut at Euro 2024, coach Spalletti reunites with the Inter midfielder. More time is needed for the Juventus player
Yesterday we talked about decisive training, and so it was: Nicolò Barella regularly on the pitch in the afternoon session of theItaly towards the debut on Saturday at Euro 2024 against theAlbania. The Inter midfielder will therefore be available and it will be his turn coach Spalletti decide whether or not whether to trust him in the first minute, evaluating his athletic ability more than anything else. The clues lead us to think that Barella will be among the starters for the Azzurri’s debut match. However, he still needs some time to Nicolò Fagioli: the Juventus player returned to work on the pitch today but the bone edema in the fibula area has not yet completely absorbed itself, so his withdrawal against Albania is certain. He will be available for the second outingThursday next week against Spain.
After thefatigue and the several days of differentiated work, Barella finally trained with the group, confirming the positive feelings of the Italian staff in the last few hours. The good news brings a sigh of relief to the coach who foresaw a possible emergency in midfield already for the debut of the European Championships. And with Frattesi fully recovered, the cards could be shuffled in the lineup that was leaked yesterday: the key line-up in the practice match was Cristante-Jorginho but it is clear that the Nerazzurri vice-captain’s prices are on the rise.
It is no coincidence that Spalletti tried a formation (like yesterday) with a very fluid playing system, with Stretcher in place of Cristante: Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Calafiori, Bastoni, Dimarco; Stretcher, Jorginho; Chiesa, Frattesi, Pellegrini; Scamacca. So confirm yesterday’s advances, that is Calafiori starts and Chiesa wide on the right. Depending on the phases of the game, the scheme can go from 4-2-3-1 to 3-4-2-1 with Di Lorenzo, Calafiori and Bastoni in defence, Chiesa on the right full flank and Pellegrini-Frattesi behind Scamacca .
