The Italian coach is aiming to make this change in formation, fielding the player, who is in great form, in the round of 16 match.
There is less and less left until the match valid for the round of 16 of Euro24 which will be played in Italy is Switzerland. The two teams come into the match in very different ways. The Swiss managed to get through the round with ease, and almost did not get out of the group in first place by beating the hosts of Germany. In fact, in the match against the Germans, they managed to equalize only in the final moments of the game.
The same then happened to the Azzurri, but in the opposite situation. Our national team in fact drew with Croatia thanks to a goal by Mattia Zaccagni in the 98th minute, therefore with the game now over. And without it, Italy would not have been able to pass even as the best third, as reported by the numbers after the conclusion of the other groups.
Therefore there are different situations and moods for the two selections, but they have a single common goal: reaching the quarterfinals. Even though what happened in recent days has almost destabilized the reigning champions, coach Luciano Spalletti has had to pick up the pieces and is motivating his men to push them to throw their hearts over the obstacle. And it is also for this reason that the coach is ready to make some major lineup changes.
The player is very ready
At the moment it is still difficult to know with certainty what the lineup fielded by the former Napoli and Inter coach will be. However, there is a clear and rounded impression that the line-up would have from the first minute of a footballer who is training really well and he’s ready to be the starter.
It’s about Nicholas Beans. The Juventus midfielder, who entered very well in the few minutes he was given against the Croatians, is ready to replace a Jorginho which until now has appeared almost impalpable.
Spalletti’s other changes
In addition to Fagioli, however, Spalletti should opt for at least two more new entries in the starting eleven to be deployed against the Swiss.
The absence due to disqualification of Riccardo Calafiori will lead to the deployment from the first minute of one of Good morning and Mancini (Gatti is further back in the hierarchy). Probable changes also in attack where Church he is ready to play again from the start, to the detriment of Darmian. The decisive man is raring to go Zaccagnito take over Raspadori.
