Italy-England a never-seen-before final: rediscovering the game to silence Wembley | News

The final of Euro 2020 Sara Italy-England and it will be the first time that the Azzurri will challenge the British in a final of a great competition. The team of Southgate will have the privilege of playing it at home (like almost the entire tournament), in front of 60 thousand people, but if the Azzurri will not be intimidated by Wembley and will be able to erase the ghosts of Spanish ball possession, they will have an excellent chance of lifting the trophy under the London sky 53 years after the last (and only) time.

In fact, in the semifinals against Spain it was almost never possible for Italy to play in the way traced in recent years Mancini because the suffocating game of the Red Furies led the Azzurri to make too many mistakes in the setting phase. The watchword for the final on Sunday evening will therefore be not to distort oneself, because the English midfield is, yes, for names as formidable as the Spanish one, but with a substantial difference. Unless Southgate does not decide to distort his game, in fact, the Azzurri should have the ball in their hands and this could make all the difference in the world to try to hurt England, who have conceded only one goal in the entire competition and from set football.

As for the choices, it is not to be excluded indeed it is very likely that, as it has already done against Germany, Southgate decides to deploy the three-man defense (which is a five-man defense). Kane and Sterling, respectively 4 and 3 goals, are the key men of the Three Lions national team and together with them in the final there will probably be Mason Mount and Bukayo Saka. As in Italy, heavy weapons are also on the bench: above all Jack Grealish, in fact the ‘twelfth man’ of Southgate, who immediately makes Wembley boil with enthusiasm when he enters.

On the other hand, no surprises are expected from Roberto Mancini, who should still rely on the starting eleven against Spain and confirm Ciro Immobile in the center of the attack. Objective to silence Wembley with the quality of our ball possession, appointment for Sunday evening at 21:00, whoever wins raises the cup.
