Italy-Moldova: Spalletti's latest lineup, few doubts

Today (8:45 pm), in Reggio Emilia, Italy-Moldova is staged. For the Azzurri, after the disastrous debut with Norway, this is the second match in Group I. The Moldovans have already played two matches, collecting zero points (two goals scored, eight conceded).

After learning of his dismissal, the’now former coach Spalletti wants to end his adventure on the national team’s bench with a convincing victory. The desire is to leave whoever takes his place (in pole position Ranieri), a team with three points in the standings and, possibly, several goals scored.

Spalletti, in fact, has already decided who will take the field in Reggio Emilia. Space for 3-5-2 with Donnarumma between the posts. The three-man defense should consist of Di Lorenzo, Coppola and Ranieri (bench for Bastoni). In midfield, Cambiaso and Dimarco will act on the outsides while, in the middle of the field, there will be Frattesi, Ricci and Tonali.

In attack, the blue pair should consist of Retegui and Raspadori, although, as Spalletti explained, it is more than likely that space will also be given to others. Orsolini, Maldini and Lucca hope to get minutes on the field. The’goal is clear to everyone: win by as many goals as possible, so as to bid Spalletti a decent farewell.
