Italy equalised di Lorenzo

 

[DAiDEViL]

Are we convinced that freekick has been practiced?

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Needed that.

Now go on and win the fucking thing

It was. They have this set-piece guru employed by Mancini (Giovanni Vio) who apparently has a playbook with thousands of different set piece routines

Nah, dude. All they needed was not to concede a goal and they managed that early on.

 

[juve123]

Clearly mancini has been over achieving with this squad

Well that's been obvious for two years

Nah. They were clearly the best when needed. The problem after have been burned put players, injuries and a stupid Jorginho. Italy still dominated and created a lot of chances despite playing bad in the recent games.

"
Vio strategically encouraged the brothers, who no one could tell apart, to stand facing the goalkeeper when they had free-kicks and just stare into their eyes.

Not only did that unnerve defenders, who couldn't decide which one was their man, it also freaked out keepers."

H2H isn’t the main tie breaker.

He’s been so bad since the summer.

I don't know whether the talk of winning the ballon d or has gone into his head

Maybe he was just at the right team at the right time. Italy needs to more than a great cup team and they for once were with Mancini. That’s why I hope and think the team is only having difficulties, because of a cramped year because of Covid. They actually created a lot of chances, in the games they drawed recently, but still took as much as control of possession as they did during The Euros. They also weren’t bad against Spain, in Nations League, and missed some good chances before conceding. The red card ruined everything.

The main concern, since The Euros, has been the awful attacking play and missed chances.
