I noticed that too but wouldn't blame him. $#@! this 3-5-2 and the old regista role.
:agree:

Conte's set it up very poorly for this match. Why he would leave so much space for a counterattacking team to run at 3 CBs in numbers is beyond me. Verratti should be playing closer to the defenders if he wants to play this formation. It would limit the attack, but there's no way Italy would have conceded twice already.

I wouldn't describe a team that just scored its first goal from a counterattack in 5 years as a counterattacking team.
