Montolivo was his usual passive mediocre self for an hour, but he grew into the game after Italy changed to playing 4-4-2 and finished the game quite strongly.
Yep, he did (I have nothing against him like many others do). I'm just frustrated that Marchisio was played as trequartista while Montolivo got to "shine" in the CM position.

Totally out of position. Had my hopes he could pull it through but seemed a bit nervous, or at least out of his flow. He should be CM, hope he gets another chance too.
