In last month's World Cup qualifying match, Italy defeated Estonia 5-0 at home. At that time, Italy used a 424 formation: the two centers Retegui and Keane started at the same time, and the two wingers Politano and Zakani were on the wings. Gattuso is ready to do this again in this game, and Retegui and Keane will partner again, but since Politano and Zaccagni are currently absent due to injuries at the two winger positions, Italy may send Orsolini and Raspadori.
Right winger Orsolini is in excellent form at Bologna this season, while Raspadori joined Atletico Madrid this summer and has played as a left winger many times this season. In this game, Raspadori will choose to cross or cut in according to the intervention of teammate Di Marco behind him. At the same time, Raspadori can also assist his teammates in defense. "Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that in the two games after Gattuso took office, Raspadori has scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists, and has gained the coach's trust with his performance.
This will be an all-out offensive Italian national team. Coach Gennaro Gattuso is full of passion and courage, and requires the national team players to be like himself. In this 424 formation, the running and physical requirements for the wide players are very high. "Gazzetta dello Sport" believes that after an hour of playing, Gattuso will consider replacing Spinazzola and Cambiaso to always maintain offensive pressure from the wing.
"Gazzetta dello Sport" predicts the Italian national team's starting number 424:
Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafioli, Di Marco; Barrera, Tonali; Orsolini, Retgui, Keane Jr., Raspadori
