Gazzetta reporting that Prandelli will use the 3-5-2 against Spain. Buffon, BBC, Giacch and Maggio wingbacks. Most likely De Rossi, Pirlo and Marchisio midfield. Upfront, possibly Gila-Gio/SES.

Huzzah!!!

I have a feeling Gilardino will score, just have a feeling.

he still shouldn't be in the squad

 

[Tommy]

Italy's going out anyway.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

If they are to lose, hopefully they smash as many Barca players legs as possible

I like SES a lot but he doesn't deserve to start at all.

3-5-2 or not Italy is going to be destroyed in this one that's for sure.

 

[MikeM]

Giach to shut down the whole left side.

 

[Bianconero81]

And then you wake up

SES has to start. Gila simply sucks. SES and Gio in a 3-5-2 formation might actually work. They both have pace, and could trouble the over-rated cunts from Spain.

When Spain wins the whole media in Italy will say it's because Balo wasn't there, not because Spain was superior and could beat the Azzurri with Balo. I so wish Italy wins and see if they'll give some credit to the Juve players.

If we win this we win our reputation back but i cant see it happening TBH

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Of course Italy won't win, but as long as they dont concede 3 or 4 goals it won't be as embarrassing.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

For Juve I want this second rate tournament to be over so none of our key players take injuries. But As an Italy fan I want them to win every trophy possible.

Doesnt matter, I don't think they will get by Spain, but I hope they give them a tough fight and maybe break xavi's leg.

Amauri on the far right

who are the 2 upfront? Gilardino with who?? SAS or Diamante?

It think we will see this if he's going 3/5/2 He used Giaccerini on that left flank vs Spain in the Euro 1-1 draw.

............Gilardino...Diamante
......Marchisio............ Montolivo
Giaccherini.......Pirlo..............Maggio
........Chellini...Bonucci...Barzagli

but I would dl this

Use DeRossi as a "sweeper" in a 3/6/1. This crowds the midfield more and puts Diamante in instead of Montolivo who could control the ball better and move it forward on timely counter attacks.

Game day !!!

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Apparently it's. 3-4-2-1 with Candreva and Marchisio in behind Gilardino. So essentially a 3-6-1 used to clog the midfield and disrupt Spain's rhythm as much as possible.

 

[Bianconero81]

Gilardino sucks. I'd play Gio and SES as their pace might trouble Spain. Gila will cause no problems whatsoever for that fragile Spanish backline.
