Euro 2024: Tactical Evolution and Modern Football Insights by Spalletti
Luciano Spalletti used the same starting lineup for Italy's first two Euro 2024 games. However, after losing to Spain, he announced changes for the final Group B match against Croatia.
Italy won 2-1 against Albania, so Spalletti kept the same team. But after losing 1-0 to Spain, where they were outplayed, he admitted the team looked tired and couldn't keep up with Spain's speed and energy.
Spalletti said, "After losing to Spain, I realized I should have made changes earlier. The team looked good against Albania, so I didn't want to change things. But now, we see some fatigue, so changes will be made."
The defeat to Spain led to much discussion in the Italian camp, but now it's time for action. An Italian defender said, "The loss taught us a lot. Losing shows the true character of players."
Spalletti added, "We analyzed and discussed the loss. We must learn from it, even though it was a tough game. Now, we must focus on actions, not words."
Italy used to be known for a strong defense, but Spalletti believes that style is outdated. He said, "Modern football requires versatility. Against Croatia, we might need to defend as a team and then quickly counter-attack. You can't just defend the whole game anymore."
Spain, with six points, has already won the group. Italy, with three points, needs a draw against Croatia to move on to the last 16 as runners-up. If Italy loses, Croatia (with one point) could overtake them, and Albania (also with one point) might also advance if they beat Spain. Spalletti concluded, "Some matches define whether it's a great story or a forgettable one."
