Bad defeat for Italy who lost 2-0 against Switzerland: a match that cost the Azzurri elimination. Big disappointment
Unwatchable blues and therefore nothing to do. L’Italy loses 2-0 to Switzerland in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 and is eliminated. The goals? In the first half Freuler arrives in the 37th minute, Vargas arrives in the second in the 1st minute.
What to say? It should have been the Italy of the revolution wanted by Luciano Spalletti, and instead the worst national team of this European Championship is overwhelmed and humiliated by a powerful, fast, tactically perfect Switzerland which, after having robbed the Azzurri of the joy of the World Cup two years ago , throws them out of a European Championship in which they were only left thanks to Zaccagni’s last second goal against Croatia.
Italy devoid of ideas and Berlin brings us no luck this time
To condemn aItaly ugly and devoid of ideas, in the Berlin stadium, it was a 2-0 for Switzerland thanks to a goal (in the first half) by Bologna midfielder Remo Freuler and Vargas’ curling shot as the second half had just begun, among many blue statuettes. Thus ends, without ever being exciting, the continental tournament of Donnarumma and his teammates who give up the cup won at Wembley and return home with the awareness that it will take a long time to see a national team worthy of its history again. Furthermore, it must be remembered that the bad performance takes place in one place, theOlympic stadium, which had given endless satisfaction in 2006 with the World Cup won by Lippi.
Spalletti: “The responsibility is mine”
“There is the possibility of building something, but it takes a little more time. I haven’t had a lot of it, if we look at my predecessors almost all of them have had more matches than me. A few more games could have helped me.” They are the words spoken by Luciano Spalletti in the press conference following Italy’s defeat. “In terms of responsibility, that always lies with the coach – concluded the coach – I made the choices. President Gravina has always behaved like a serious professional towards me, and in this case too we will talk to each other.”
