Even with the amateurish level of opposition, the team settled a bit in 2nd half. It was good to see.
But the defensive holes are still there and they seem to occur by design at this point.
Pirlo is not blind, he sees the defensive problems, but insists on this scheme, as if players would improve execution with time.
I hope it works, but Im not confident. The defects are so predictable I dont think they come from execution. It really seems like a positioning, shape, design issue. Lets see.
