This Dani olmo is good

popizaino:



Even your imagine does not in anyway support the bolded . Busquet was focused on the danger poise ahead by the man heading towards goal, a right back could have ran past him through the midfield in that situation to score,doesn't mean he should have keep track of any random player when there are players to have dealt with the threat and still get back in the game. If you blame shakiri's goal on Busquet then I shouldn't be less surprised that you're as well blaming this on an innocent Busquet .

Just admit that Busquet is slow and stop all this shalaye.

Busquet was not distracted by anything. He never stopped running nor changed direction. He was running into the channel the goal was scored from, but the snail was 20 yards behind when the action went down.

airmark:
See Busquets again losing possession. Italy are foolish.

You support conte for a reason so no surprise about your comment.

If he doesnt take risk he wont lose possession,I rather my player take risks and lose possession than not take risks and still lose.

Pedri has really impressed me today

Quick passing in small close spaces to draw Italy around the action while opening the spaces left by Italy..Notice after the quick passing, typically 1/2, there is a gaping space the passer exploits. They are almost playing a hybrid triangle around Italy.

Italy please come out now, u can do it

His calmness in possession has been more impressive. He almost never looks back..ahead! ahead!!

Too dangerous at this point. They just have to stay compact at the back and the middle and hope for a long pass opening.

Ibime:


Which controller claims he's being marked and hide. Any controller worth his salt takes two steps toward the defenders, asks for the ball and uses a half-turn to spin away from the man on his back, unlike your belleface controller who only turns when he is in 5 yards of space, or he hides or passes the ball back where it came from. Those with some body strength like Mikel, Busquets, Dembele even want to feel the player physically on their back so they can use the players own body weight against them to spin away.

Go and watch Xavi pirouette videos if you don't know what it means to be a controller. E no get how you want mark Xavi that he won't ask for ball.

Why does he need to do this when there are other means to progress the ball.

We get the picture already. Jorginho is not a runner neither is he a dribbler but he does other things that some of us appreciate.

England with faster attackers will kill this Italy

Roland17:
While Spain are playing passes in close spaces, Italy are playing far from each other and looking for the longer passes for quicker transition to beat the press which makes it even more tasking because without the ball, Spain are closing the passing lanes.

Exactly what is happening,thank you for putting it in the best possible short way .

Pedri has a 99% pass success in this game. Midfield gem...

That lack of being able to spin away from a man (what you call dribbling) is the reason why he is a fake controller who forces his team to park the bus against any decent midfield even Aston Villa midfield.

What you appreciate is a belleface who only passes ball back to the defenders if there is anyone within 5 yards on his back.

If I want a park the bus midfielder, I know where to find one and it won't be Jorginho.

Tell me if Jorginho had spun out Pedri from his back two or three times at the start of this game, whether Spain wouldn't fall back. He is the reason they are under pressure in this game.

It no get match where some midfielder decide to manmark Xavi. By the time Xavi spin him 3 times, he will fall back into his own half. After a while, they abandoned pressing Xavi and sat in low block every game.

Jorginho is useless.

Sancho Sterling and Grealish will feast on those Italian defenders with their pace and trickery

If they are struggling with Dani Olmo how much more with thhose 3

This Dani Olmo na player

Denmark are very serious and clinical.

They have good DM that can mark and throw passes— Hojberg, thou it’ll be difficult for him to face Rice and Philip. Their strikers and midfielders are very clinical and straightforward, not scared thou because England will be starting at lead 6 defensive players. They are Belgium pro-max, make a mistake and they’ll capitalize IMMEDIATELY without missing any one. England finds it difficult to handle such teams, clinical underdogs.

Italy on the other hand are actually shiit from the way Spain dey play them. Just park bus and look for counter, it won’t work for England, not when they have Shaw, and other 5 defensive players. If Belgium had organized defenders that can stop counters, they would have beaten Italy. I don’t know how this will sound, but England players are just too complete, they are lacking nothing, they have all the players that can fit any tactics in the world, so long as they do no mistake.

Spain? Them no follow atall.

Are you serious about all these?

Did you watch these teams play (Spain and Italy) from the start of the tournament or you’re basing your judgment on this one game?

How many tough teams has Denmark faced? How many games did they win during group stage? If not for Russia that fvcked up do you think they’d have made it.

Denmark are high on adrenaline and confidence because they lost Erickson early on in the tournament. That’s the reason for their cohesiveness. They’ve been riding on this for a while but it can only take them this far.

They may park the bus and play with a lot of passion but England has far better quality players. Hojbjerg cannot be everywhere. There’s a chance they win the game but it’s not as much as England’s chance.

Donnarumma loves taking risk

Goal....

Italy scores....

If only Billy Gilmour was playing regularly. I really hope this loan works out well.

donstan18:

Why think so?

Your midfielders don't find your attackers with good passes on time,you wont enjoy possession against Italy simply because spain did and by not getting possession there is nothing to worry about from Italy's defence.

Who made that cross field pass for Italy?

High on adrenaline? That’s the same highness Iceland and Croatia had when they disqualified England from last WC and Euro.

But I know England will beat them, just saying Spain and Italy aren’t that threatening again.

User09:


Obviously cos he's been manmarked. Creating space for other players to make a move

Nah that's not it. Verratti was also being man marked and He was actually going towards the ball and demanding it not running away from it.

England no dey play possession game.

Italy defensive play automatically makes opponent look possessive.

And then, most England goals so far dey come from wing, not midfield.

Belloti should just turn to linesman.

Croatia had quality players, Iceland played negative football and the England team 3 years ago is different from the England team today.

Of course Spain or Italy will open up more than Denmark so England will find them easier to beat. Denmark will probably park the bus and rely on counters. Heavy bus o. The onus is on England to defeat then

Italy went offensive against Belgium and they beat them.
