Inside today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport it is possible to read an editorial signed by the well-known technician and commentator Fabio Capellowho returned to Italy and, in particular, to the next treacherous test against Spain: “The next test is called Morata walls, someone who immediately scored in his debut against Croatia. Alvaro is fast, he plays well with the team and above all he scores. Spain will be a good test for Italy, especially for Spalletti’s defense. The Azzurri will need even more attention on Thursday.”
Still on defense: “Bastoni and Calafiori gave an excellent performance against Albania, also thanks to the precious filter of the midfield and a super Barella. The two central defenders in pairs are an added value because they are courageous and verticalize as soon as they can. Calafiori remembers a young Sergio Ramos, who I coached in Madrid in 2006-07, who also transformed from full-back to central.
