Belotti off for Eder was a really pointless substitution, showing the stubbornness of the coach in thinking he has the right tactics but the wrong performances.

Since Italy is saddled with Ventura anyway till the world cup, next 3 matches have to see Rugani and Romagnoli get significant minutes. Barzagli definitely can't be depended to start the world cup in peak condition, Chiellini the same.

And hopefully Mister Ventura will reflect and understand that he got the tactics wrong this match.

Thoroughly entertaining game. Hopefully the Spain of peak del Bosque are back and not the tired soulless team we have seen for past 4 years.

Led by Madrid instead of Barca this time.

Barzagli at least look reliable not like bonucci :p
problem of italy is midfield selection and limited attack except belotti

Because of this match you just watched?

Modric the other 6 days of the week by far

Coutinho is also in that race

You know that was on De Rossi or Verrati. Bonucci has been bad tbh but you cannot blame that goal on him.

It was mainly De Rossi but I'll never understand a defender scared of the ball. Bonucci often moves hid body out of the way when trying to block, check Nocerino's goal in thr Milan Juve game.
