Redemption on the Horizon?
After a humbling 1-0 loss to Spain, Italy’s coach Luciano Spalletti is hitting the reset button ahead of Monday’s do-or-die clash with Croatia at Euro 2024. 🇮🇹 ‘We will change things,’ he declared, acknowledging fatigue and ‘rust’ in his squad. Will the Azzurri’s new strategy save their tournament?
Group B’s High Stakes
Italy sits second in Group B with 3 points, but their lackluster performance against Spain (where they managed just four shots) has fans sweating. Meanwhile, Croatia—ranked fourth with 1 point—still dreams of a knockout-round miracle. A Croatian win combined with an Albania victory over Spain could send Italy packing. 😬
Spalletti’s ‘Walk the Walk’ Moment
‘Talk is cheap,’ the coach admitted, vowing to ditch his unchanged starting lineup. Fans are buzzing: Will rising stars like Retegui or Folorunsho get their chance? 💥 Monday’s match in Leipzig isn’t just a game—it’s ‘the glory of the tale,’ as Spalletti put it. Can Italy rewrite their story?
