It seems that if the Italian team faces the current Portuguese team, it has a psychological advantage? Because the latest situation is that Pepe can not participate in the later World Preliminary Rounds, the team's center-back has once again had problems. As far as the current situation is concerned, Portugal may really have problems playing Turkey, of course, the Italian team is now also focused on winning North Macedonia first, so that there is a chance to enter the World Cup, so the Italian team entered the World Cup steadily?
Portugal without Pepe, this time without Díaz, the team's World Cup main centre-backs look like they can't play, and the team's backline can't be stable
Pepe and Díaz are Portugal's current main centre-back combination, maybe this is the fate, if the team scores one more goal in the World Preliminary Round group stage, it will not enter the play-offs, and then encounter the crisis of center-back, in fact, the team full-back problem is not big, but the full-back looks like playing center-back is not very reliable, Fonte should still be able to get the main position, the other position will not be Guerrero, right? Then the backline of this team will definitely be broken, and it is no surprise that the team can only play center-back with style and Guerrero, and can not always expect the young young center-back core. Wing-backs are important because wing-backs may need more people to assist in defending and helping the team defend. This team is really unlucky, with one less defensive midfielder and two less main centre-backs in key games. Does Ronaldo really have a chance to participate in the World Cup this time?
The italian team's forward line issue needs to be paid attention to this time
Many people think that the Italian team has a center, but Mancini's way of playing, the center can not actually say the most important, but the Italian team's current center feels that it is not the kind of fulcrum center, before this team was generally forward, but there is a player like Chiesa, he is a player with speed, he can also attract the opponent's defense, which will create a lot of space for the middle to score goals, this is the case, now there is no Chieza, the team's side attack speed is obviously declining, look at Juve to know, there is no Chiesa, The playing style is more monotonous, although there is a center, and even Dybala, but the wing is obviously not fast enough. Although Insigne and Skamaca are centre-forwards, Belotti is also a centre-forward, and Berardi is also a centre-forward, these people actually seem to need to be speeded up from the flanks to play, and Portugal will have a new combination of centre-backs this time, and speed may not be a problem for this team's center-backs? Isn't that interesting?
But it still needs to be played
Really need to see the team played, the Italian team's play style of play on the running requirements are very high, now there are two less speed points, do not know how much impact on the team's attack and defense, but this team center-back will be very stable, is to see the ability to score goals, Portugal's problem is their own defense, this time did not directly promote the group stage, but also because of the problem of defensive line defense, the result of the two main center-backs who can be used are injured, now the defense is even worse, Turkey is a defensive counterattack style team, defense is also the team's advantage, So if Turkey and Italy play the final, it may not be an accident, and it feels like this year is a tragic year for Ronaldo? Can Italy at least secure a World Cup?
