Last minute twist, Federico Chiesa would already be out: all the details of the situation relating to the player.
According to rumors coming from Casa Italia, coach Luciano Spalletti could surprise everyone in the next match against Croatia by opting for a 3-5-2 formation. This tactical choice aims to give greater defensive solidity to the team and make the most of the characteristics of the men available.
One of the most relevant news could be the decision to leave Federico Chiesa on the bench. Despite his recent statements in which he stated that he felt “almost at pre-injury levels”, it seems that his form is still not optimal. This factor, combined with specific tactical needs, led Spalletti to consider alternatives for the Azzurri attack.
Chiesa out against Croatia: Spalletti opts for 3-5-2
Chiesa, who recently spoke about how he is getting closer to his pre-injury physical condition, could therefore see his playing time reduced. Spalletti’s choice will certainly be influenced by the need to field a balanced and competitive team against a tough team like Croatia. The match therefore promises to be interesting not only for the value of the opponents, but also for the technical and tactical choices that Spalletti will make on the pitch. The possible exclusion of Chiesa could cause discussion, but the Tuscan coach is known for his thoughtful decisions aimed at the good of the team.
It remains to be seen whether this new tactical configuration will bring the desired results and whether, perhaps, Chiesa will still have the opportunity to enter the match in progress to make his contribution. Meanwhile, the Azzurri fans anxiously await the verdict of the pitch, hoping for a convincing performance against Croatia. As we know, already in the defeat against Spain, Chiesa certainly did not shine and for this reason the national coach could opt for another tactical deployment. Chiesa certainly represents a precious element of the blue squad and is absolutely not put into question. Against Croatia, a match of sacrifice and great attention will be needed. The group must have passed and Spalletti does not intend to lose this match. Appointment, as we know, scheduled for Monday evening. Tomorrow the Azzurri, with the new tactical formation of 3-5-2, will have to face a very difficult but not impossible team to beat. We can’t wait to see what the hopefully positive outcome of tomorrow night’s match will be. Italy wants to move forward and play for the chance to win the European Championship once again.
