Zaccagni’s goal allowed Italy to qualify for the Euro 2024 round of 16, which will be played tomorrow at 18:00 against Switzerland. And, as everyone knows by nowwithout that pearl, born from a great play by Calafiori, the blues would have been eliminated. Something that can be said after the results of the other groups, with the surprising Georgia which turned everything around a bit. But here, today, on the eve of such an important matchone almost wonders if we are not being too harsh on Spalletti’s men. In fact, there were a lot of criticisms. And obviously, without that network, there would have been even more.
Donnarumma and his teammates passed the round at their last breath and when everything really seemed to be over. Everything happened without enthusiasm from a gaming point of view and showed many gaps both offensively and defensively. Yet he took second place in what many said before the competition began was a sort of a real iron circle. In short, eliminating Croatia with Modric, Brozovic, Gvardiol, Susic, Kovacic and Perisic was certainly not an easy and obvious thing. Because perhaps, on a qualitative level, the Slavs had even something more. Because we need to especially to deal with the players available. There are many limits, but Italy certainly does not lack good will, the desire to fight and try until the end, throwing heart and soul beyond the obstacle. And it is well known that our National team has always come out step by step. And perhaps already with Switzerland we could see something different. Who knows.
And then, looking at Euro 2024, it doesn’t seem like that at all, ruling it out Spain and glimpses of Germany, the big ones are shining so much. Just think about theEngland, which passed after a gnawing victory, two disappointing draws and above all two goals scored. He did little better Francewhich pays for a Mbappe who is not at 100%. In short, it doesn’t seem like there are any dominated teams and indeed there are many outsiders who are shining, like Austria, who finished ahead of the French. So in this European Championship everything seems possible. Spalletti’s men perhaps deserve a little more confidence. Confidence that must not become an excessive demand, however.
