Italy win Euro 2020: How Roberto Mancini undid a century of calcio to win the title | ESPN FC
Рет қаралды 259,304
Күн бұрынGab Marcotti joins Steve Nicol, Frank Leboeuf, Alejandro Moreno and Dan Thomas on ESPN FC to reflect on Italy's run to the Euro 2020 title after failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Azzurri defeated England in a penalty shootout in the final at Wembley Stadium to claim their first European Championship since 1968.
0:00 The best team in the tournament won.
1:20 How much credit goes to Roberto Mancini?
2:51 Mancini's dramatic change to the Italian way of playing football.
3:44 Italy won as a collective, but has a bunch of star power.
5:08 How Mancini's Italy differs from his club sides, like Lazio, Manchester City and Inter Milan.
6:45 Is there any scenario where Mancini is not coaching the Azzurri at the 2022 World Cup (if they qualify)?

just for correct information, we won the first 2 titles (1934 1938) as a superaggressive team, with a module called "sistema" which was the forefather of 4-3-3 that Mancini is using. Catenaccio was born after WWII and the "tragedia di Superga" (where most of the national tema died in a plane crash), and already in 2006 the module was nothing connected with it. About population: Italy has more or less the same citizens as France and slightly bigger than England. And incidentally more world and european titles (and finals) than the two together :)

I wouldn't compare Italy to Man City, Barcelona, Bayern... I'd compare Italy to Atalanta and Sassuolo, with some more experienced players. And I don't want to make this comparison to underestimate Italy... I just want to point out how Italian's "provinciali" little teams grown up and put some solid base on Italian's football. Atalanta has I think around 14/15 players on national teams who played the European Championship or Copa America, and they did quite well overall. Gossens, Miranchuk, Malinovski, Freuler, De Roon, Muriel, Zapata... And of course Pessina and Toloi. Mancini has a tremendous impact on the the mentality, but part of the credit should go to managers like Gasperini and De Zerbi.

The 2006 team actually followed the most traditional of Italian classics: outstanding defence, counter-play and then individual ability in the end phase. This team here played differently, but still brought out the old way with Spain, which was nice to see again; it just becomes embarrassing to focus on defence each game, so I enjoyed the mix between games.

Thanks for letting these roundtable discussions breath, instead of keeping things ultra-concise for the sake of ads. Also, this whole operation seems devoid of "hot takes." There's a lot of tactical and technical discussion. It's been great as an on-again, off-again soccer fan.
