Last night Italy annihilated, as per prediction, Estonia. Despite this, there is a fact that does not make Rino Gattuso sleep serene.
Italy comes out refreshed from the first release with Rino Gattuso. The blues are shocking out of the ghosts of the past and, after a first inauspicious time, In the second they annihilate Estonia 5-0. Round result arrived thanks to the goals of the attackers – two strategists, one Kean and one raspadori – and that of the defender Bastoni who seals the result.
A victory that allowed the Azzurri to shorten on Norway as regards the Speech of the Networks Difference (+11 the Scandinavians, +4 us). Now, with a more clear head, Gattuso must better prepare the most probable commitment against Israel scheduled for Monday evening. From the match of the New Balance Stadium, the Calabrian technician also brings with him aspects to improve.
If on the one hand Italy has already shown the distinctive features of its coach (determination, with asphyxiating pressing, ability to all be able to stop the opponent in the defensive trocar, and therefore great offensive productivity -40 total shots of which 16 on goal -), on the other there is an aspect that worries: the inability to create opportunities from the game of the individual. An aspect that is clearly visible through the dribbling data of yesterday’s game.
Italy, the data on dribbling against Estonia is worrying: the comparison with the other national teams is despair
During last night, Italy attempted 11 dribbling by completing 4therefore 36%. The number of dribbling attempted in the first half is even lower: three, those successful two. These are numbers that inevitably worry Rino Gattuso.
On Thursday evening, Spain against Bulgaria attempted 21 (12 only Yamal laminates) And he completed 10 of them. Also other national teams, without having a generational talent available such as the number 10 Blaugrana, have numbers higher than those of Italy.
Also on Thursday evening, Germany challenged – losing – Slovakia, in the match the men of Nagelsmann they made a 6/17. Six, they are also successful dribbling – out of 14 – by Turkey against Georgia. 14 – Four successful – also the attempts of Holland against Poland.
Spatial numbers, however, for Belgium against Liechtenstein: 16/24. Same numbers instead for Croatia (vs islands far oer) 9/22, and France (vs Ukraine) 9/22.
Data that show how players who take the responsibility of trying to try one against one continues to miss the national team. A play that, if it is successful, can unlock games that In the long run they can prove difficult.
A major resourcefulness is the one that serves the Azzurri to grab the world championship and return to make a big voice in the international stage. Aaa wanted talent.
