Euro 2024, Luciano Spalletti makes three changes for Croatia

Lunedì decisive race for the continuation of the European path

After the defeat against Spain, Italy is training hard for the decisive match against Croatia, scheduled on Monday evening. The national team, in order not to take any risks and qualify without any problems, must get a result against the Croatians. Spalletti is considering several changes from the eleven that took the field against the Red Furies.

The first major change should materialize in midfield. Jorginho, who appeared in great distress against Spain, should end up on the bench. In his place, alongside Barella, there will be room for the Bianconeri Fagioli. In short, two players with a high technical rate but who also know how to maintain a high pace on the field.

In defense, the injured Dimarco should be replaced by clubmate Darmian. At the moment, di Lorenzo should be confirmed, although he disappointed against Spain. Finally, in attack, it seems Retegui’s time has come. Entered in the last excerpt of Italy-Spain, he should now play from the first minute.

Three significant changes to try to shake up Italy and, above all, put Croatia, a national team that is anything but easy to face, in trouble. CT Spalletti does not want any more slumps and, above all, calls for a diametrically opposite approach to the match from the one seen against the Red Furies. There'è too much at stake not to have the courage to play proactively.
