You asked and you shall receive! "Si giocherà a San Siro l'amichevole Italia-Germania del 15 novembre, quattro mesi dopo il quarto di finale dell'Europeo, che ha visto i tedeschi eliminare gli azzurri ai rigori. Quello di Milano sarà il 35° confronto tra le due nazionali, con 15 vittori dell'Italia, 11 pareggi e 8 sconfitte. Sono 55 gli incontri disputati dall’Italia a Milano, a partire dalla prima, il 6-2 sulla Francia del 15 maggio 1910, all’Arena Civica: l'ultimo precedente è l'1-1 del 16 novembre 2014 contro la Croazia, qualificazioni all'Europeo. Il 15 novembre 2013 a Milano si giocò proprio Italia-Germania, anche quella volta amichevole: 1-1, con gol di Hummels e Abate." - Gazzetta
DDR is out vs Israel so I think Verratti going to have to start at this point. We really need him to take that midfield and run with it.
Let him become the best Italian midfielder first. He may be loved in Paris. He still needs to prove himself in the Azzurri shirt.
Italy: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Candreva, Parolo, Verratti, Bonaventura, Antonelli; Eder, Pellè Italy bench: Donnarumma, Marchetti, De Sciglio, Astori, Ogbonna, Florenzi, Immobile, Montolivo, Pavoletti, Bernardeschi, Gabbiadini, Rugani Serious red flag guys... No Montolivo
I understand clearly. I am always nervous before a game like this no matter how strong the opponent is. Sometime I get more confident if our opponent is stronger.
Brilliant from Verratti, and it seems like Pelle will continue to play if he converts sitters like that
I really dislike our false v-neck kits. I know we had that same look in 2006 so maybe we revived it for superstition. Nevertheless it's stupid.
If our central midfielders are going to relinquish their roles to the centerbacks, shit like that will happen.
Verratti with an Iniesta-like pre-assist. Can't wait until he's in black and white doing the same thing.
My observations so far... 1) On this current team, we have no central threat whatsoever. It amazes me how teams just can't mark out Pelle and the wings. If I was an opponent, I'd force Italy to make Eder win the game on his own, despite what he did vs Sweden. 2) Chiellini has been shit in the Ventura era. 3) this shit of Bonucci thinking he is Franz Beckenbauer has to go. He has literally been spraying aimless balls all game long. It's a joke. Get off your high horse and act like a CB.
