Italy actually played quite good yesterday. Dominated most of the match and only lost because of defensive mistakes oddly enough.

So Ventura basically said that the he is gonna at least try 424. You have Marchisio and Veratti to play 2 in mid, whole bunch of WC CBs from Juve and Romagnoli, DeS and Darmian as wingbacks and bunch of talented youth upfront.

I was looking at the pool of notable 25-and-under players Italy have, with the next 3 tournaments in mind. It's quite a decent list:

25 - L. Insigne, Florenzi, Zaza, Soriano, Destro, Bertolacci, Santon, Sepe, Regini
24 - Gabbiadini, Jorginho, Sportiello, Baselli, Sansone, Saponara, Zappacosta, Izzo, Sala, Bardi, Biraghi, Iemmello, Antei, G. Ferrari, Capuano
23 - Verratti, De Sciglio, El Shaarawy, Perin, Sturaro, Politano, Caprari, Leali, Barba, Fiamozzi, Trotta
22 - Rugani, Berardi, Bernardeschi, Belotti, Cataldi, Di Francesco, Ricci, Masina, Goldaniga, A. Ferrari, Biraschi, Monachello, R. Insigne, Verre, Boateng
21 - Romagnoli, Benassi, Grassi, Sensi, Gollini, Lombardi, Cristante, Murru, Lezzerini, Aramu, Capezzi, Somma
20 - Pellegrini, Mazzitelli, Scuffet, Valzania, Cerri, Piu
19 - Mandragora, Meret, Calabria, Bonazzoli, Romagna, Audero
18 - Dimarco, Chiesa, Pezzella, Locatelli, Adjapong, Cutrone, Lo Faso
17 - Donnarumma, Scamacca
16 - Kean

I should add a in there as well.

Yeah, but you can't say now how they will develop. Especially the players without experience in a mature competition (Kean, Scamacca). Some of these players are really interesting to follow and maybe Beppe can get some of those talents. Times will tell, but you can make a team like this with every decent football country.

A lot of players in your list look they will maybe reach level Sampdoria, but it's really hard to tell. Look at Pelle he was a latebloomer. Fvcked it everywhere up in Serie C & B and rocked the shit out in the Eredivisie. Got a transfer to Southampton and playing for Italy's national team. Now making some millions in China in just 4/5 year. That's just incredible. Balotelli is temporary the opposite of a latebloomer, hopefully he can make me happy at Nice.

This line-up... WTF. A Parolo-De Rossi-Montolivo midfield

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Is Verratti injured?

And still persisting with Eder-Pellè.

 

[KC17]

Is Verratti injured?

I would hope so. No other reason to leave him out of your biggest qualifying game.

Especially since Italy is getting run over in the mid-field right now.

Ventura said he'll only be able to play one of the two qualifiers. Everyone was expecting he'd start against Spain, seeing as Italy could do with his insane ability to hold on to possession and control tempo of the midfield...but Ventura is starting him against Macedonia instead.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Iniesta and Silva are running rings around this midfield and defence so far.
