Qualifiers Euro 2016 – Italy, how much effort! Pellè stretches Malta: 0-1 – Yahoo Eurosport UK

Save the three points, nine in the group, along with Croatia commanded a full score (9 points). For the rest, just like against Azerbaijan, Italy’s Antonio Conte has shown once again evident qualitative limits. 0-1 with Malta, decided by the first goal of the expected blue Pellè Graziano, remains positive only for the classification. The journey to France 2016, however, will not be so easy if the national team will play with this creative monotony. The 3-5-2, without people who create numerical superiority, it is not entirely productive and can easily be anesthetized, also by a team from the 155th place in the FIFA rankings as Malta . Ok, the four poles (Pellè, Chiellini, Giovinco and Candreva), but we expect more from Italy: keeping possession and passing the ball horizontally only is not enough. Rejected the blues on the floor in the game, slow and predictable, rejected for the lack of aggressiveness and a final lived with apprehension for the expulsion of Bonucci who had re-established numerical parity. Promoted Pellè and Giovinco (‘re still well in the game), postponed the midfield, that without Pirlo and De Rossi seems to lack quality and nastiness.

THE CHRONICLE

Italy piano part and located in front of Malta anything but intimidated. Without Ranocchia (hamstring) and Darmian in line behind three, the Blues are likely to capitulate to the quarter of an hour, when the left Failla touches the pole. The great fear that awakens the Ital-Count with Pellè (cross) and Chiellini (pole) take the steps to the door of Hogg. The spark comes to 23 ‘, when Pellè Graziano, the man most anticipated, solves a scrum in the center area, after great save by the keeper of the Maltese Bonucci. The 0-1, however, relaxes the blues, which are favorites dall’esagerata expulsion of Captain Mifsud: entrance hard on Florenz it deserved but at most a yellow. In advantage of a man and a goal of Italy controls the game, but not fun. Malta defends and manages to close in the first fraction of a single network.

In the second half Italy does not change pace and rhythms. Always prim, Conte’s team controls the advantage, but struggled to create chances. Building miss chance, we test Marchisio, but even the entry of Giovinco can not shake the blues. And so, instead of adding to the score in the final National is likely to be even recover. The mediocre referee Romanian Ovidiu Alin Hategan 73 ‘Currency disqualifying a foul by Bonucci 40 meters from the door of Buffon. Alleged clear chance on goal and red for the Juventus defender. Italy, 10 to 10, played the last quarter of an hour with fear in their legs. Giovinco hit the post with a twist lonely, Earl put Ogbonna, asks her to manage the possession and wins in the end of measurement. Too, huge, impronosticabile suffering.

KEY STATISTICS

43rd round of qualifying European / World without losing to Italy. It took 23 minutes Graziano Pellè to find his first goal for the national team. Goals to debut for him the last to do it in blue Matri was in March of 2011 The expulsion of Mifsud 28 minutes is the fastest ever expulsion of a captain in the European Championship qualifiers.

THE BEST

Graziano Pelle – Score the winning goal at the onset of head and hit the crossbar. He proves to be, especially in the first half when the reference point, with its banks, the share of blue attack. Promoted. In the second set, but falls throughout Italy.

THE WORST

Marco Verratti – We expected much, much More. Directed horizontal only, without filter, without ideas. Italy slow and predictable misses the light. Pirlo, for now, remains of another category. Will be able to rebuild.
