To be honest, the Italian national team is not a big hit today, but there are many players in the squad who are quite advanced, making fans look forward to miracles. The Spanish "ideal lineup of fans" in the mind of this editor is no more and no less is based on the preferences of the editor, and I hope it will resonate with all fans!
The goalkeeper's first choice will be Donnarumma, and I understand that AC Milan fans will have a hard time sparing the 22-year-old goalkeeper, but in any case his skills are the most guaranteed of the three goalkeepers, and he was recently elected the best goalkeeper in Serie A. He has abnormal reflexes, excellent stability and a high penalty save rate, and youth is his capital, and I believe that the next ten years will be his world. But xiaobian always hopes that he will not forget his roots, without AC Milan, he may still be just a young goalkeeper waiting to be promoted. Substitute goalkeepers Alex Meret and Salvatore Sirigu are both quality players, both old and young are eligible to be in danger, and Italy really does not have to worry about the quality of goalkeepers, plus, Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Clagno, who averages 3.6 saves per game, Sampdoria goalkeeper Emile Odero and Mattia Perrin, who has always been a key member of the national team, are always on standby.
Since Italy's defense in recent years has not been too solid, and the main central defender has also begun to decline, Mancini should refer to the three-center-back formation of Serie A host Inter Milan. From left to right, bastoni, Francesco Acherbi and Bonucci will be selected. Although the youngest of the three, Bastoni is the most important member because he has become familiar with the three-centre-back formation at Inter milan throughout the season, and has fully grasped when there is space to advance with the ball, and when to fill the defensive holes on the left. He has had three assists this season, with Milan Shkrinjaer and Stefan DeFrey both having zero assists, proving that Bastoni will be biased towards a backcourt organiser. At the same time, he averaged 4.6 long passes per game and 64% successful long pass rate is also the crown of the team, and it is believed that he will be the attacking starting point of the Italian national team.
Francesco Archerbi is not young, but at the age of 33, his form is quite ideal, and under his leadership, Lazio's relatively fragile defensive line has improved, at least this season in francesco Acherby's appearance, the team has conceded zero goals 10 times. He also has a record of averaging 2.4 interceptions and 3.6 clearances per game. Of course, the three-centre-back is also a common formation of Lazio, and Francesco Acherbi is also accustomed to standing in the middle of the position with the ball, averaging 5.3 long passes per game and 62% of the long pass success rate is also the best for Lazio, and the average pass success rate of 89% per game also means that he is used to passing in the back, so he can dominate the defense and share Bastoni's priorities. On the contrary, the most famous Bonucci made the editor most worried, his state really declined quite obviously, and it is not ruled out that intermittent injuries affect his play. From time to time this season, he has seen some reckless decisions, such as the 36th round, when he shoved Italy's new favourite, Giacomo Las Padori, under the penalty area, and that kick was basically an application for a penalty to the opponent. Xiaobian only hopes that he can play stably, make good use of his competition experience, assist other juniors to advance, and with his status in the jianghu, he should stand up.
Bonucci was chosen because Mancini did not pick other quality centre-backs, and Raphael Troy's performance in Atalanta was not too prominent, and he also made mistakes from time to time to send penalties, not as good as The Berat Gimsiti and Christian Romero next to him. Chiellini's problem is even bigger, although he has always had a lot of small moves to criticize, and as he gets older, he relies more on these small moves, but this only increases the risk of sending a penalty, so he is no longer the best Center-back in Italy, perhaps controlling the dressing room is his priority. It is really unclear why Mancini eliminated Roma's Gimbalca Mancini in the final list, he is the most stable center-back in the Roma squad, although he will make mistakes from time to time, but he has a certain ability to score goals, which can make up for many of his shortcomings, and in terms of function, Gianluca Mancini will definitely be more ideal than Raphael Troy and Chiellini. In fact, West Ham United's Angelo O'Bonner and Turin's Armando Izzo are both candidates worth considering, the former taking the lead at the beginning of the season, laying the foundation for the team to compete for The European competition, while the latter's physical fitness and confrontation are quite good, competing for high balls and interceptions have a certain experience, but too many fouls.
As for the left and right wingbacks, the editor's favorite candidates are Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Leonardo Spinazzolla. Both selling points are assists, with the former contributing 3 goals and 6 assists for Napoli and the latter 2 goals and 4 assists for Roma. For Italy, which does not have many offensive routines, their play on the flank will be extremely important. Defensively, Giovanni Di Lorenzo is actually competent, but he has 11 yellow cards throughout the season, which is a bit of a concern, and Leonardo Spinazzola's defensive ability is really average, but his state and ability are higher than Emerson,So there is no second choice, so He has no second choice, and can only bother Bastoni to be diligent in filling the vacant position missed by Leonardo Spinazzola.
Emerson, who has only two chances in the Premier League, can be selected, but only the small parliament selects such players who are negligent because they don't have many options, but Italy is clearly not in this category. Fiorentina left-back Cristiano Biraghi, who has a fairly balanced attack and defense, and Verona left-back Federico Di Marco, who has made great strides this season, are both trustworthy players, the former with a 1 goal and 5 assists table, while the latter has a record of 5 goals and 3 assists. In addition to Alessandro Florenzi, THE RIGHT-BACKS, AC Milan's Calabria and Augsburg's Daniel Calijuri are quite good, the former can move into the midfield, the latter as he gets older, the biggest advantage should be that he handles set-pieces very well.
The midfield will feature Niccolò Barrera, Manuel Locatelli and Giogenio. Xiaobian always wants to stabilize the position, because Italy is most familiar with the defense of the copper wall, so Xiaobian had to give up the offensive Marco Villati. Jorginho is a player who will always be criticized, but his importance is unquestionable, his stats will never be particularly conspicuous, but the team will easily lose its balance without him controlling the rhythm in the midfield. In fact, he has averaged 2 steals and 1.4 interceptions per game in the Premier League, and in the mind of the editor, a midfielder such as Jorginho is always the first choice for the eleventh person.
Since Manuel Locatelli joined Sassuolo, he has matured, simply an all-rounder, with qualities in shooting, creativity, defense and possession. The most notable is of course 2.4 steals, 4.9 long passes and 1.1 key passes per game, but he also has 9 yellow cards, so he has to play smarter. The quality of Niccolò Barrera, the best midfielder in Serie A, should not need to be introduced, he has endless physical strength, the coverage is comparable to Kante, but he is more threatening in attack, 3 goals and 7 assists in a single season prove that he is not just a sapper. Even though he was short, he would desperately do some Dirty works. Niccolò Barrera and Manuel Locatelli are both all-round midfielders, and they have high hopes for what positive impact they can have on the Italian national team.
The front line will be led by Lazio shooter Chiro Inmobile and Napoli core Lorenzo Insigne. Although the editor really does not like the "shooter" of Chiro Inmobile, this season alone, he has missed 16 opportunities, 20 times last season, and 18 times in the last season. But the editor always has to be rational, after all, he has a certain ability to score goals, the past three seasons in Serie A has scored a total of 71 goals, no local goalscorer can compare with him, so he is still worthy of a seat. However, Xiaobian can already imagine the lens of him losing the camera many times in the next event, and all the italian fans please be mentally prepared. The editor appreciates the style of Napoli, and the captain Lorenzo Insigne's style of play is naturally very ornamental. His personal ability is relatively strong, with a one-on-one confidence that he is almost 90% sure of a successful breakthrough, his shooting skills are also very skillful, and he is also good at creating opportunities for his teammates, 19 goals and 7 assists in a single season confirm his diversity in attack, so he will undoubtedly be the core of the Italian squad.
When Italy needs a substitute source, it will be Federico Chiesa, who has the ability to turn the tide after Juventus proved that he is not a famous player. In addition to Ronaldo, Federico Chiesa must be Juventus' player of the year, the 9 goals and 9 assists of the report card is actually worthy of the national team to choose a seat, but after all, there are people outside the sky, there are many predecessors are above him, when the team needs to change the team, he needs to prepare himself. In addition, Sassuolo's captain Domenico Berardi is also at the peak of his career, getting rid of the impact of injuries in the past two seasons, allowing fans to see his best side, his long-range shots and free throws have a hand, and he is also one of the few players in the Italian squad who is good at pressing, I believe he will also be a popular rotation candidate.
It is mentioned above that Marco Verratti was placed as a substitute for defensive considerations, and when the team urgently needs to strengthen possession, creativity and offensive depth, he must come forward. Secondly, Stefano Sensi and Lorenzo Pellegrini are good substitutes, and I like Stefano Sensi, but he left the field due to injury in the last round of Serie A, and I really don't know how he is. Lorenzo Pellegrini's role at Roma is becoming more important, his creativity is guaranteed, and his ability is proved by averaging 1.9 key passes per game, while he has also delivered 7 goals and 6 assists, and it is believed that he will be the mainstay of the national team for the next decade. But the editor does not have a good feeling for Brian Christant, his performance in recent years has not really improved much, maybe Mancini wants one more sapper to assist in defense, if not, the veteran Giacomo Bonaventura may be a better choice.
There is also Federico Bernardeschi in the list for everyone to ponder, his performance is the same time as the starting time, while Roberto Soriano, who plays for Bologna, can play several positions in the midfield and has guarantees, but Mancini did not consider it. In the same way, Freiburg's wing Vincenzo Griffo and Napoli's Matteo Politano lost the election, the former has 9 goals and 10 assists in a single season, the latter has 9 goals and 4 assists in a single season, but everything turns out that nothing is enough to make Mancini move, it can only be said that it is a pity.
In the end, Italy's new favorite, Giacomo Las Padori, was quite surprised to be on the 26-man roster, not questioning his ability, but worrying about whether his heart could support him to cope with such a large international competition, after all, he was only 21 years old. As a result, there are several more names in mind, perhaps they are more able to provide immediate combat, including Moise Keane, who is in a state of recovery, who is himself a member of the primary list, but Mancini has abandoned him. In addition, Sassuolo's veteran goalscorer, Francisco Caputo, would have been better suited to be a substitute killer than junior Giacomo Las Padori if he hadn't been injured. Verona's Matthia Zakani can float freely on the front line, and if he can be selected and played as a supporter, it is believed that Italy's tactics can be more changeable, and this season's five goals and five assists prove his offensive talent, and his breakthrough and possession are also very good.
