International friendlies
[31] Ecuador vs Italy[9]
Time: 04:00, March 25
Italy
During the international break, Italy went to the United States for training and arranged two warm-up matches, beating Verinella 2-1 in the first game, with naturalized centre-forward Retegui scoring twice, but the overall performance was not very satisfactory.
In fact, for coach Luciano Spalletti, the current preparations for the European Championship are still difficult. First of all, the personnel, Tonali's ban is already a very early thing, it can not be mentioned, just two weeks before this international break, Sassuolo captain and Italy's main right winger Berardi ruptured his right Achilles tendon and was confirmed to miss the European Championship. Centre-forwards Immobile and Scamacca were not selected this time, and Luca (Udinese, 8 goals in the season), who was called up for the first time, left the team due to injury, leaving Spalletti with another chance to scout. Defender Acerbi has been caught in a storm of so-called racism and may also be banned from the European Championship.
▲Spalletti is accustomed to the 433 formation, and has won 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss since taking charge of the Italian national team, but he was inspired by many Serie A teams that use 3 defenders, and this international break is experimenting with the 3421 formation.
Of course, the bald coach will use as many players as possible, such as in today's game against Ecuador, he will use a new line-up with all 11 starters. The goalkeeper will naturally give Vicario a chance, and he has been very impressive at Tottenham this season and can stand out on his own. The three central defenders, G. Mancini tried in the middle, and on the left and right were Inter's Bastoni and Dalmien.
The midfield should be said to be stronger today, with Jorginho and Barella partnering in a back two, Inter's Dimarco on the left and first-time Bella Nova on the right, the 23-year-old Torino full-back has shown a strong assist performance this season, and Napoli captain Di Lorenzo could give up his starting position when the Azzurri need to attack.
The two warm-up games also adopted the 3421 formation, the last game was Chiesa Jr. and Frattesi to support Retegui, this game by Pellegrini and Zaniolo formed the "Roma double midfield", although the latter is currently playing for Aston Villa, but there is still a tacit understanding with the Roma captain, the forward position was handed over to Raspadori, and the Napoli small striker has also made many cameo appearances in the case of Osimhen's injury.
▲Ecuador has played a small score in the last 4 games, and the style of play is relatively conservative, so you can pay a little attention to this game.
Ecuador is currently ranked 31st in the FIFA rankings and currently ranked fifth in the South American World Preliminary Tournament, one point above Brazil and one point behind Venezuela. Former Qatar coach Felix Sanchez has brought positive changes to the team over the past year, the coach from the Barcelona system has led the team to 11 games so far, losing only two games, and only losing to Argentina in the opening game of the World Qualifiers, and then winning three and drawing two of the next five games. Harrison beat Guatemala 2-0 the other day at today's venue with one and a half main line-ups. The current strongest squad will be in the starting line-up tonight, starting with the team's number one star Chelsea defender Moises Caicedo (Chelsea spent almost €120 million).
Ecuadorian players have physical and technical skills, Spalletti has explained, today's game, the team's backfield in the forced stage, can open big feet, do not drag mud and water, to avoid being broken by the opponent, directly forming a threat. For Spalletti, who pays attention to passing, such instructions show that today's result is still very important.
▲ The two sides have met a total of 3 times, and Italy has the upper hand with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
The game was played at Harrison Stadium, home of the New York Red Bulls, and there are a lot of Italians in New York, and there will be plenty of fans coming in tonight to support them. After a few days of training, Italy's form should improve, and with less pressure, they should be better than in the first game, and a win is still worth looking forward to.
