Round of 16: Switzerland - Italy

[Gal]

How did Spalletti win the scudetto

Because we made a record of completely unexplainable losses, that’s why… if we actually played up to material at hand at least it might not have been handed on a silver plate

Hopefully Italy wont bullshit their way to a comeback.

The best time for Italy to get eliminated was 3 days ago. Second best time is now.

Can’t believe how much Spalletti has fucked this Italy team up. It’s honestly impressive how much they’ve been hurt mentally in this tournament. So little confidence now they can’t even make simple passes or move and find space.

This team should have been playing 3-5-2 or some variation of it from the very beginning. The majority of your team is used to playing it a club level, not to mention the largest block that plays together (Inter). Not to mention that team won the league and has been dangerous in Europe. Literally all you had to do was build on that foundation.

Instead he moves Bastoni central to play in a weird hybrid back 4, refuses to play Buongiorno, won’t play an actual wingback on the right side who’s not his son.

Goes to back 3 for one half and the team looks better. Immediately unbalances it by bringing in Frattesi at the wrong time. Now he’s playing the most confusing 11 I’ve ever seen and half of the players aren’t in the team on any type of merit. Insane.

a loss here is for the greater good, as you get rid of this pussy of a coach and his lovers.

no way he will leave.. knowing FIGC he will stay what ever happends. And if this shit continues its gonna be the third consecutive WC without Italy.

Spalletti needs to have the courage to blow this thing up at the half. Jorginho for Fagioli, Frattesi for Cristante. Get El Sha out of there.

This implosion brings huge Netherlands - Austria vibes. Only Italy is even worse... What is Spalletti doing? How can you get assfucked by Spain like that and not learn a single thing from it? The Swiss are dictating this game in every single way... Italy is lucky that the Swiss have as much trouble finishing as the Spaniards did, as well.

And yet, historically the Azzurri always seem to conjure something out of nothing by FT

That's indigenous, they actually played good football. How he's managing Italy now, is another conversation. He has 0 clue on how to instill identity in this team.

they played good football until new year, then it went downhill... Lucky for them Inter was pathetic in league that season.

Cooked.

 

[IM21]

shame that Croatia didn't get through. At least they would have shown some balls.

 

[YoramG]

By not subbing Di Lorenzo, Spalletti shows everything that's wrong with him.

Feels like I'm watching allegri's juve.
