They haven’t been the same since Spain raped them 3-0 in the World Cup qualifiers last year.
Before then, even with that moron Ventura in charge, they were still getting good enough results...that loss has mentally destroyed this team. Draw against Macedonia, playoff loss to Sweden...I think the last game Italy won was a friendly against Saudi Arabia a few months ago.
The players who played did, in general no. It's a case of looking at players and reducing injuries. These are glorified friendlies and don't try to convince me Italy will ever take them seriously.
