An effort that pretty reveals what a crew that is. With an offensive that continues to disappoint, the place the interplay is sort of non-existent. Nevertheless, some flashes of sunshine defensively, the place Calafiori confirmed his finest sides and the Inter collaboration is the Gli Azzurri’s secure level. Zaccagni’s delicate proper foot takes the Gli Azzurri on with a knife to the throat. Towards Switzerland within the spherical of 16, rather a lot must be proper for the Gli Azzurri to advance. Spalletti should return to fundamentals.

Score 1-10.

Goalkeeper/Defender:

Gianluigi Donnarumma — 7

Once more makes a few unimaginable saves, together with the slot save. He continues to take care of a excessive customary within the match.

Alessandro Bastoni — 6.5

He’s stable and continues to develop into his position as a pacesetter on protection.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo — 6

Does a very good job defending in opposition to a talented participant like Mario Pasalic. After his embarrassing efficiency in opposition to Spain, he’s once more as his previous common Di Lorenzo.

Riccardo Calafiori — 7.5

Right here he will get it carried out. He continues along with his huge braveness and on this match he manages to interrupt by way of the Croatian checkers a number of occasions like nobody else. It was this offensive breakthrough potential that additionally led to the Italian equalizer when he assisted. He by far the perfect match within the match the place he acquired some all his finest sides. Unimaginable!

Federico Dimarco (Ut 57′) — 5.5

Dimarco will go to sleep dissatisfied. Bought the prospect right here in a extra offensive position on the sting, however cannot get it proper. Having problem getting out the unbelievable wing play he’s among the many finest on the earth at. He has a little bit of a tough time with the defensive work. Disillusioned…once more.

Matteo Darmian (Ut 81′) — 6.5

Along with Di Lorenzo, he makes it tough for Croatia’s proper facet to get round. A clearly accepted effort!

Midfielder:

Jorginho (Ut 81′) — 6.5

Hardly misses a cross and makes it tough for probably the greatest midfields on the earth, merely a customary effort from Jorginho.

Nicolò Barella — 7

Not his finest match however reveals class proper by way of. For a midfielder, maybe the hardest opposition, however nonetheless does flawlessly. Contributes each with defensive stability and offensive brilliance. His cross to Bastoni is paying homage to his opponent Modric. Barella received that match-within-the-match, perhaps he additionally took over some sort of crown from Modric. The center and soul of the Gli Azzurri!

Davide Frattesi (In 45′) — 5

With wholesome legs, he is available in and licks up some patterns. Even so, he does extra improper than proper, and what he does proper is just not ok. Knocks away many of the passes (it is true, the right handle of 6 out of 15) and epitomizes the attacking Italy that simply is not sufficient.

Lorenzo Pellegrini (Ut 45′) — 6

Exhibits some edge in a half he will get to play. Desires rather a lot however cannot discover the combos he wants.

Nicoló Fagioli (In 81′) — 6.5

Is available in with class. The ball dealing with and ability most likely has nobody else within the Italian crew. The offensive energy in midfield proved to be extremely essential. Hopefully he can get to play extra as a substitute of Frattesi or Pellegrini.

Attacker:
Federico Chiesa (In 57′) — 6

He is available in from the bench and reveals his velocity a number of occasions. He by no means fairly will get it proper when it will get near the penalty space.

Gianluca Scamacca (In 75′) — 6

Is available in and instantly reveals what he has that Raspadori would not. Measurement. A degree of play that isn’t present in some other participant on this Gli Azzurri. Proves essential a number of occasions for that purpose. Why does he get to begin on the bench?

Mateo Retegui — 5.5

He runs and stumbles. Is it sufficient? No. What’s the different? Effectively, he does what he can anyway.

Giacomo Raspadori (Ut 75′) — 5.5

Retegui did his finest, Raspadori did…nothing? Zero class. A disgrace for Italy that there is not a lake striker higher than Raspadori, as a result of it would not.

Mattia Zaccagni (In 81′) — 7

Comes out and in of nowhere he has despatched Croatia out of the EC and despatched Italy to a transparent eighth. A unbelievable class purpose within the far submit, Livakovic has no probability. He’ll reside on this for a very long time and hopefully this may give him extra taking part in time and confidence within the spherical of 16.

Luciano Spalletti — 6

Modifications formation to a 3-5-2 and pokes, amongst others, Chiesa from the beginning eleven. It’s noticeable, nonetheless, that the gamers should not fairly prepared for these hasty modifications of system and techniques, however will probably be profitable in the long run. Good match teaching.

The Azzurri — 5.5

There are such a lot of issues to say regarding this crew effort. The gamers have problem combining and discovering patterns, particularly offensively. Not occasionally you knock away passes and make errors, exactly since you are above the best way of taking part in and taking part in with one another. Hardly will get into any actually harmful conditions when you do not know what the opposite goes to do. Defensively one other story. Inzaghi and Inter be certain that Darmian and Bastoni can safely maintain the once more line collectively. Skilled Di Lorenzo is aware of what Spalletti desires and does what he has to. There may be far too little interplay in Gli Azzurri.

Let’s go!
