GENEVA – The last season is expensive to the blues in Geneva remedied for Portugal’s first defeat of the management Conte. A ko heavy mainly because officially excludes Italy from the seeded draw the next World Cup in 2018. We will be in the second band and, therefore, we’ll have to duel with one of the big Europe to fly in Russia.
ITALY, A SMALL STEP BACK – Beyond mitigating year-end and poor reasons given however by the fact that friendly match, the national team has taken a small step back from the latest releases. Showed very little in terms of the game, he has made too many mistakes worrying during the disengagement. Important aspects on which the coach will definitely work.
RANOCCHIA UNCERTAIN, IN SHADOW AND SORIANO Bertolacci – In this sense Ranocchia went pretty bad, so good at closing the uncertain phase setting while appeared fogged both Soriano and Bertolacci, probably exhausted after the long run with their European clubs. Finally relaunched the building front struggled but we have seen little in the process of finalizing. Also because of the few supplies. In short, the grafts took by Conte have certainly brought new life to the team. Must be reviewed.
COUNT CONFIRMS 4-3-3 – The coach has changed little since the race in Split confirmed 4-3- 3, has brushed up front property and has given a new chance to Ranocchia in defense and in attack Bertolacci and Soriano. Some experiment more, on the opposite, did Fernando Santos, who was forced to give up Cristiano Ronaldo. He tried Vieirinha and Fonte in defense, Tiago chose to Adrien Silva in midfield and finally fielded Varela and Eder alongside Quaresma in the three-pronged attack.
VARELA MOUTINHO GRAZIANO AND THE BLUE – Italy started well and twice shook Beto with two conclusions from the edge of Bertolacci and El Shaarawy, finished edge of the pole. Portugal slumbered and took advantage of a voltage drop of the blue to replicate the end of time: two pies Sirigu and Ranocchia threatened to cost dearly but it went well that the two have helped each other. On the first occasion, in fact, was the defender to remedy a lost ball of n. 1 PSG with a save on the line on a shot by Varela, in the second it was the turn of the goalkeeper to block a ground right from the edge of Moutinho, inappropriately served by Ranocchia.
POLE BONUCCI, EDER SCORE – groomed by Conte in the locker room, Italy is divided determined after the interval but it was lucky: a left from the edge of Soriano ended slightly higher, a header by Bonucci, on punizione- cross from Pirlo, it is printed on the pole. Portugal and thanked the first thrust is past: Eliseu escaped to Soriano and from the left Quaresma with a perfect cross of outside allowed Eder slipped to score the first goal in the national team.
BLUES, WAKE UP LATE – Conte tried to change something by launching 4-2-4 with Vazquez and Samson and external Gabbiaidni Matri in attack but Italy has struggled to resettle in the field. Enough to risk a doubling of a header from outside the substitute Adrien Silva and on a shot from Quaresma. Only in the final the Blues have had a jolt of pride. And after a left edge of the pole of Darmian pledged Beto with two conclusions from the edge of Gabbiadini and Vazquez. Too late, however, to allow Geneva to keep the reputation of a good luck charm blue. For the first time in 11 outputs, in fact, for Italy, in fact, also it arrived the first ko in the Swiss city. Another first that we have done without losing.
