Euro 2024, failed attack: Scamacca and Retegui not up to the mark

Lack of alternatives the real drama

Italy è found itself blunt. Even against Switzerland, the Azzurri attack largely disappointed. Scamacca, who started, never è managed to enter the game. Only one action of note, with a post (perhaps offside) that smacks of a mockery. The Atalanta striker è was harshly criticized for his lack of character.

Retegui did no better. The Genoa center forward tried to give it his all but, in the end, he too was è lost in the thin air, leaving no trace of his passage to Euro 2024. The two, in four games, did not score a single goal and, above all, did not seem up to the task.

At this point, many are wondering who can be the national team's striker for the near future. The real problem è that, to be fair, there are no major alternatives. Italian soccer, for quite some time, has not "produced" strikers of absolute value. The last real cannoniere è was Immobile who, although struggling, something with the National team shirt è managed to do.

Spalletti said that many things will have to change. Certainly a lot of reasoning will be done on the offensive package, which is practically intangible and definitely harmless. The hope è that, sooner or later, even in Italy at least one striker will blossom who can make a difference in the Azzurri shirt. Looking at the champions of the past hurts even more.
