398 million euros! The Italian team's European Championship starter was exposed, and only three positions were rich, and it was difficult to defend the title
Just now, the authoritative data website German Transfer has listed the possible starting line-up of the Italian team in the European Championship. For the reigning champions of the European Championships, it has been very difficult for the Italian team in this four-year cycle. There have not been many new players in the squad, but a few strong players have withdrawn from the national team. Coupled with the fact that Tonali and other new stars suffered off-field incidents some time ago, it can be said that the starting lineup that the Italian team can put out at this stage is very shabby.
The goalkeeper position is still Donnarumma, the big Paris goalkeeper is still the most eye-catching part of this lineup, why do you say that? Because Donnarumma's comprehensive strength in all aspects at this stage is among the top among goalkeepers, and his performance can directly ensure the lower limit of the Italian team. How far Italy can go in the Euros will depend on how well Donnarumma plays at the back. At the back, Germany switched to Italy with a three-centre-back formation. From left to right, Bastoni, Acerbi and Skolvini.
Needless to say, Bastoni is one of the few players in Italy who has both fame and strength, and the value of 70 million euros speaks for itself. Although Acerbi's value is relatively low, only 4 million euros, his personal combat power is still good. On the other side, Scorvini is also a very good defender, and he has also been a regular in the squad in recent years. If nothing else, he will firmly occupy a place in Italy's starting XI at the European Championships. After talking about the backline, let's take a look at the midfield, Dezhuan gave a four-midfield position.
From left to right, Dimarco, Jorginho, Barella and Di Lorenzo. Objectively speaking, the strength of these four people is still okay. Dimarco has been on a hot streak of late, and combined with his current value of €50 million, he could indeed contribute to the team at the European Championships. His left side will improve both in attack and in defence. As for Jorginho and Barella, there is a gap between the two at the moment. Jorginho has seen a decline in strength since his move to Arsenal. At the moment, it will take hard work to get a starting starter.
Barella and Di Lorenzo are also old faces of the national team, and they can still win the main team at this stage. In the European Championships, the midfield needs to rely on them to maintain their hardness and organisational skills. Finally, looking at the forward line, compared to other national teams, the Italian team's forward line can be described as very thin. It can even be said that it is shabby, and the left forward position is given to Pellegrini. The Roma striker, who is worth 25 million euros, can only be described as mediocre in club competitions. It's not a very good striker, but he can contribute to the team at the end of the day, so it's no problem to be here.
On the other side, right winger Chiesa is a very talented player, although Juve's attacking players have shrunk due to Allegri's poor tactical arrangement. However, Chiesa managed to score seven goals and one assist in his limited attacking attempts. Chiesa was a standout player in the last tournament, helping Italy win the European Championship. The team's ceiling still needs these talented stars to ensure that as long as Chiesa can play well, then I believe that Italy can still have the ability to go far in the knockout rounds. Finally, there is the centre-forward, which is likely to be won by Retegui, and the Italian star, who is worth 16 million euros, has become the only central striker in the Azzurri at this stage.
Judging from the starting lineup of the Italian team, their overall strength really cannot be ranked in Pot 1, and the starting value is only 398 million euros, which is indeed some gap compared with those favorites to win the championship. However, the last Italian team was not very optimistic, and finally won the championship all the way. I don't know if they can perform a miracle this time.
