Italy CT Antonio Conte has reportedly decided on 14 players for Euro 2016, but Andrea Pirlo, Daniele De Rossi and Lorenzo Insigne are missing.

Il Messaggero has reported today that the former Juventus Coach has chosen 14 'certainties’ who will be part of the squad for next summer’s tournament.

Some established stars are absent from the list, such as Pirlo, De Rossi, Insigne and Riccardo Montolivo, although the newspaper believes that the other nine places are still up for grabs.

The 14 believed to be guaranteed a spot on the plane are:

Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon, Mattia Perin

Defenders: Matteo Darmian, Mattia De Sciglio, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini

Midfielders: Alessandro Florenzi, Antonio Candreva, Claudio Marchisio, Marco Verratti, Marco Parolo

Forwards: Eder, Graziano Pellè.

This man baffles me.

Conte starting Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini and Marchsio.


It's fucking friendlies and doesn't "test" some players.

Always hated when he barely made rotation. We had no gas in the end.

Funny/sad thing is that they are losing even with them on the pitch.

 

[Mark]

no reason to push. It's a friendly. I'd play the guys on the bench and see if they're adequate to replace them in case of injuries at the EURO/WC...but no, not with Conte.

Looks like they are going to play the majority of the game if not the full 90. After playing against Belgium too...

sad Conte.

Romania are an absolutely nothing side these days, but really so are Italy a lot of the time in friendlies. I don't like seeing how many goals are going against our guys this season.

 

[Mark]

FFS friendlies vs Spain and Germany in MARCH!

I wonder if he'll play our Juventini 180min?

FFS friendlies vs Spain and Germany in MARCH!

I wonder if he'll play out Juventini 180min?

Given that they are the last main friendlies you tend to see quite a few subs, I don't know what he could learn just playing the same core all the time. He needs to look at the back ups.

 

[Mark]

absolutely!
