The former footballer Giuseppe Bergomiwho spoke as usual at Sky Sportsanalyzed Italy’s bad defeat against Spain in Gelsenkirchen like this: “I honestly expected a different match from Italy, I expected a more aggressive and more intense national team, with greater quality. Instead the Spaniards put us in difficulties from all points of view, even where we thought we were strong. He wanted something different in the second half, but Spalletti made some conservative changes.
Let’s think about Cambiaso: he is not an external attacker, but a fifth. His entry was a defensive solution, so he didn’t solve anything. I would have expected a change of formation from the coach and I continue to believe that Italy, due to the call-ups it has made and therefore the players it has at its disposal in Germany today, must evaluate the return to the three-man defence, with a different midfield and a player closer to Scamacca or in any case to the center forward”.
