The Azzurri must change gear on the eve of a new phase of the European Championship, it is necessary to start again from Zaccagni’s goal and the attack must return to scoring
“We are ready for death, Italy called” yes, it is not to be taken literally but certainly the last part of Mameli’s anthem must be perceived as “wake up” by the blueswho will face the Swiss in the round of 16 of the European Championship. A useful reminder for the whole team, but which would perhaps be more useful for the national team forwards, the numbers speak clearly. Not since the 2008 European Championships have our centre-forwards had a lowest goal average: zero goals in the first three days of a major event. It’s certainly not just the offensive department’s fault, but this is a sobering fact.
In the first three matches of the European competition Scamacca and Retegui they didn’t score any goals, only one shot on target between two, scored by the Nerazzurri. The Dea striker certainly took to the pitch for more minutes than the Genoa striker, 162 and minutes of the first against i 123 of the secondbut this does not justify the only two dangerous actions created by Scamacca, one in the door mirror opponent and one from outside the area. Numbers too low, this could be a vI was a problem for Spalletti not only on the eve of the match against Switzerland but also for a possible path in the competition, a change of pace is needed.

Let’s start from the good first half of the Nerazzurri striker played against Albania, with the realization of the only shot on target of this European Championship towards Strakosha’s goal. Only from that first part of the match because then in the second half the problems started for the whole team and consequently for Scamacca, who got lost in useless heel kicks and light touches. Let’s start from there, forgetting the match against Spain, in which also Retegui he covered more than he attacked. The Italian-Argentine striker came close to scoring a header against Croatia, trying over and over again to create dangerous actions. Let’s start again from those final thirty seconds of Croatia-Italy, from Zaccagni’s goal which allowed us to reach the eighth finals, and which gave everyone so much hope. Let’s start again from this energy.
