Outside Europe
The “Blue Jackets” Italy, which has been surrounded by gloom recently, is in crisis after losing 1 to 3 at Wembley and being frustrated by England. Coach Spalletti admitted after the game that the level of Serie A is not as good as other top European leagues.
Although the defending Azzurri opened the scoring in the 15th minute through arrow Shicamaka, defender Di Lorenzo then violated the home team’s upstart midfielder Zudy Biningham in the penalty area, and captain Harry Carney took the lead. Capital punishment, equalizer for the home team. Judi Biningham assisted winger Rashford in the second half, and Carney scored a single goal to score 3-1. He scored his 61st goal in 87 appearances for the national team. After the “Three Lions” visited Naples in March this year, they “double-killed” the Blues.
The level of Serie A is questioned
Italian coach Spalletti said after the game: “I don’t think the players deserve to lose 2 goals, but we need to learn and grow from our mistakes, especially in important decisive moments. This is European football.” When asked Whether the standard of Serie A is inferior to other top European leagues, he said: “That’s it.” In addition, Italian star Fazioli, who plays for Juventus, has been suspended for seven months by the Italian Football Association for participating in football betting. .
England leads Group C with 16 points from 6 games and qualified early. Defending Italy currently ranks third with 3 points and 1 game less than Ukraine. The latter two will meet in the finale of the group stage next month, and it will become a life-or-death battle to qualify. Spalletti said without any worries: “I am not afraid of anything. I will be surprised if the players panic. I believe that my team has the quality to deal with any opponent.”
England, who are undefeated in the group and qualified two rounds early, are accustomed to playing without wind and waves outside Europe. In 24 years, they only lost to the Czech Republic in 2019, becoming their only defeat. Coach Scheufky said the task is not over yet: “We want to ensure that we become one of the top seeds next month, so we have to win the remaining two games and control the overall situation. We have to continue to build the team, and the army still has great potential.”
