Euro 2024, Italy: Retegui’s goals to score against Croatia
To date, the 25-year-old center forward has scored four goals in blue
This is it, è the day of Italy-Croatia has arrived. After the heavy defeat to Spain, the national team è called to react against Modric and co. With a win or a draw, second place would be certain (in the round of 16 there would then be Switzerland). To bring home a positive result, CT Spalletti has decided to change the face of Italy.
Four lineup changes are expected. In defense, space for Darmian in place of Dimarco (recovered but expected to start from the bench). In midfield, trust in Cristante to give more physicality to the department while Cambiaso will be in the trident with Chiesa and, above all, Retegui who, at the moment, seems indicated as a sure starter in the match against Croatia.
In the first two outings, Scamacca, despite his excellent efforts, has not been able to make his mark. In fact, no blue striker has found the way to goal. The feeling è that the CT has decided to throw Retegui into the fray. The 25-year-old Genoa striker, in 10 games in the Azzurri, has scored four goals. Statistical data that bodes well.
For Retegui, this would be (should he play) the most important game of his career. After entering the game in Albania and Spain, he would have the chance to start from the first minute and try to revitalize the national team's attack, which to date has been completely blocked. The future of the national team at Euro 2024 also depends on the plays and, above all, the goals of Retegui.
