The Italy coach Luciano Spalletti he posted a table of commandments in Coverciano. Rules – as reported by this newspaper on 14 November 2023 – on which the players first engaged in the European Championship qualifiers based themselves and which in a few days will have to be followed in the tournament to be played in Germany.
Pressure. Management. Distances. Team block. Reaggression. Recomposition. Back to the pressure. Spalletti’s jargon, his table of law, is not an abstruse exercise for the initiated. Increasingly familiar to fans, it translates into a series of continuous movements, an ideally perfect circle that opens and closes throughout the match. In these hours the tactical commandments they resonate more than ever in the ears of the national team’s players: the coach transmitted the principles of the game during video lessons in the assembly hall, during intense training sessions. And through an app created specifically for the team on which the videos are uploaded to allow players to study even when they are away. Nothing, in view of the European Championship in which the Azzurri are called to defend the title, is left to chance.
