We tend to forget it, but it was Italy which won the last Euro, played in 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Obviously, the transalpine selection will be keen to defend its title and its status this summer in Germany, while on paper, it still seems far from other nations like France or England, which it had beaten in final. During this international break, the last before the final preparation camps for the Euro, our Italian neighbors won their two matches: a 2-1 victory against Venezuela, then a 2-0 success against Ecuador on Sunday evening.

On paper, it is therefore a fairly convincing truce, facing two South American teams that are always difficult to face. And even if the content was not particularly brilliant – the local press does not fail to highlight this – the tendency is towards optimism on the other side of the Alps. “The tour was excellent. The results are very positive. We dealt with very serious guys”launched the coach for example after the victory on Sunday.

A wind of optimism is blowing across Italy
“It’s a new start, we’re taking steps and we’re improving.” We’re creating a great group with guys who want to help each other, that’s the best thing. Without it, we would be nothing”, explained Nicolo Barella, the captain, after the meeting. In the media, the trend is also towards optimism, while the 3-4-2-1 put in place by the coach is bearing fruit.

“Maybe not yet convincing, but at least it wins. Italy, which returns from the American mini-tour, offers more hopes than ambition, but with the sensation that in Germany it will be able to defend with honor the title won in 2021 »can we read in Sportmediaset. “We won two matches as thorny as cacti, also knowing how to suffer. Qualities that should not be underestimated in the run-up to Euro 24, where we will no longer have to experiment, but to win”explains Gazzetta dello Sport. This Italian selection is serious!
