He is there as wing forward option, just another random name there really and hopefully short term. I'm more shocked they even bother naturalizing him for Italy, a random mercenary brazilian, when he is just average. Awful call up.


Balotelli, double whammy, cuz is he a trouble child AND performing poorly whole season.

Yeah either way its not a bad team and could be pretty good if Vazquez settles in well and maybe they can get one of Balo, Rossi or El Shaar fit and in form to give a bit of quality that is lacking.

I think Candreva is better to use in attack to take advantage of his shooting and pace so I would go with Parolo or Florenzi as the CM. The team would have been more solid if Conte called up Thiago Motta to go with Marchisio and Veratti in the mid.... He played really well against Chelsea

i forgot about Motta, why isnt he called? i thought he was a standard at the NT

 

[AOD4]

Horrible selection but let's see how the game goes.

 

[Ocelot]

Yeah Eder is really only shocking call up, besides vazquez debuting, who I know very little of besides being another mercenary Oriundi.

Rest is just the usual + this seasons italian playmaker breakout player in Validifori, why act suprised every time like Conte has other options then the same squads? Besides ignoring Rugani or Romagnoli as alternative to Moretti, but no use crying about that, youngins wait around bit more then usual in defense positions in Italy.

Vasquez has been very impressive this season, and especially interesting for the Azzurri as they notoriously lack players in his position, there are barely any Italian AMs around. I'm not quite sure to what extent his strong performances this year are really evidence of consistent talent and abilities, or just a great form so many decent to mediocre players have enjoyed for a few months before going back to their usual selves though.
In any case, calling him up completely makes sense especially in that regard, it's going to be ineteresting how he fares with a team different from the one he's used to playing in, could give some hints about his true quality.

What a shit squad. The Coach really suits it.

 

[Bianconero81]

Not sure if Azzurri squad or some provincial outfit

Aside from the Juventus players, the squad is literally shit.

 

[icemaη]

I hope Marchisio gets the flu again and sits out.

 

[AOD4]

Now anyone can play for Italy NT. I wonder what Eder did to get a call up that serves no purpose.
Under Conte I feel like the pattern just naturalize as much as possible.

 

[DIECI]

everytime there's a selection made I think, damn this is bad, we're really F$*ked then the next one comes out which makes the previous one look good. Where did our NT go? This is sad! I really think the Under21 would beat these guys

 

[Post Ironic]

Wow

Conte has to trolling everyone with some of these selections. Just pathetic.

Immobile and Eder at forward.

What have either of these guys done this year to be called up to the national team? I'd take Berardi over either of them.

Plus, reports suggesting they're training 3-5-2. Italy has wingers, Conte doesn't use 'em.

 

[Fr3sh]

For a while I thought it was the black Portuguese Eder that started playing for italy. He's fast and dope on fifa

 

[satfootball]

unlike Germany, orioundi players in Italy national team haven't enough qualities.

One of the worst strikers I ever seen, the Portuguese Eder.

Ciro Immobile and Simone Zaza look set to start up front for Italy in Saturday’s trip to Bulgaria.

The Azzurri travel to Sofia for a Euro 2016 qualifier, before facing England at Juventus Stadium the following Tuesday.

In today’s training session at Coverciano, CT Antonio Conte worked with his customary 3-5-2 system, with Borussia Dortmund striker Immobile partnering Sassuolo’s Zaza up-front.

The heart of Conte’s Juventus defence was also employed today, with Andrea Barzagli joining Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini in the back three.

Matteo Darmian and Manuel Pasqual look set to occupy with wing-back positions, with Antonio Candreva, Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti in the centre of midfield.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffon
Barzagli-----Bonucci-----Chiellini
Darmian---Candreva ----Marchisio------Veratti------------Pasqual
Zaza--------------Immobile

 

[zizinho]

looks good except for Immobile. should have played with Vazquez or someone else instead

 

[shmaspi]

I hope we win this, but we have a new coach and don't have enough power upfront to threaten Gigi. All of our attack players are of the rang of Bojinov, well maybe only Ventsislav Hristov is better. Also we don't have good CM's. Also our defense is questionable, but we'll see, I hope we win

 

[alexjuventino]

Lmao

Says in the national team only italians should play. In inter plays only 2 italians.

That doesn't look SO bad to be honest, but definitely will have problems creating up front.

So basically you are crap?
