Ultimately, as much as we try not to admit it, there was a sort of aura of great anticipation around Italy-Venezuela. Not for who knows what reason, but primarily for gods Europeans that loom and are getting closer and closer with small steps. Then you can inevitably add that pinch of curiosity and hunger for football, which, when the championship is missing, will somehow be satiated and satisfied. In short, the game undoubtedly offered food for analysis and reflection. But then, in the end, the point of arrival and the conclusion always remain the same. All that remains is to go into specifics and details.
Il game system it was certainly a great novelty. A 3-4-2-1 where the coach wanted to test and try something new, especially in midfield. The faces of Good morning, Cambiaso e Udogie in the starting line-up they gave the match an experimental flavour, as indeed it must be when it comes to a friendly match, played shortly before an important event and tournament. In reality, however, it must be said, we saw aItaly with two faces, with a team that had many difficulties for about an hour. But, in the end, it was the senators who made the difference, those who can now be considered essential leaders.
The thought obviously goes to Donnarumma, and not just for the penalty saved in the first minutes. The PSG goalkeeper responded to the criticisms that still exist (this is truly inexplicable) by making saves of the highest level. The match winner, however, is Jorginho, entered from the bench. Some people had started to turn their noses up at him too. Yet his quality made the difference and can still make the difference. See the 2-1 assist to understand. And if you don’t want to understand… well there’s little to say or add. In short, with steady bowls and a cool head, Italy’s leaders were two heroes of Euro 2021. But can we talk about something different? Just one name: Retegui. His brace is like a true striker and an old-fashioned number 9. He works hard throughout the match and makes the most of the chance he was given. But maybe it’s really too much to talk about the National team finding his striker. There’s still plenty of time. And there is little new, given, for example, the performances of Buongiorno and Udogie, who were terrible in their approach to the match. And who knows if the fresh 3-4-2-1 will also be immediately set aside. The second test against Ecuador will tell us something more. And maybe it will change our opinion.
