Emerson too underrate am there.

I no believe am sef till I was sure it was Busq

See referee protecting spineless Busquets.

raumdeuter:


Airmark will tell you it can never happen, Only Krychokewack can do t

Busquets is in this game but still losing possession as always

raumdeuter:


See excuse. That is how they have been underrating him for the past 11yrs

He has lost possessions multiple times in this half alone. The last time the referee favoured him in what was not a foul on him.

Skimpledawg:

I will like an example of a player who doesnt lose possesion.

If only you requested for the whistle before the tournament

EMERSON wants to enter first team sha

All spanish defender knows that Insigne will cut in and shoot They left the outside well open there

BlueAngel444:
Italy vs Spain, I support Italy but the game will very balance, two tactical managers that have done it at club level, it's going to be interesting

This ref no send at all o

Ibime how far na, Busquets and Jorginho dey play yet na 0-0 care to explain

Adiwana:


I didn't mean that. Read what I wrote again

yeah. I understand but Morata is no different to the guy quoted.

Those 1-2s involving Emerson and Insigne have really worked down the left...both players have combined well. Happy to see Emerson lively and very much involved.

The only thing missing in this game is goal......it's been electrifying so far

Trevor012:

That's what Belgium failed to do. I was literally screaming that he should be closed down before he scored against them. Anybody that has watched him play knows that he's style of play has always been to cut into the right to curl. Just make sure it doesn't happen and his game is done

Ibime:


Midfield controller they need to get in the game.

This is the story everytime Jorginho plays against any decent midfield - even dem Aston Villa and Leicester turn him to a water carrier

Okrika controller.

It shall not be well for anybody who wants Jorginho as the future of Chelsea midfield

so it will not be well with Tuchel the manager na, which kin ye ye prayer you dey pray, abeg leave prayer to those way sabi

We should have long seen this at Chelsea involving hazard and EMERSON but conte and his fellow Italian brother sarri were too foolish to make it work .

Jorginho, Barella, Verratti… being shown levels by Busquets, Pedri, Koke. Completely anonymous Italian midfield so far.

Trevor012:

It can be Mancini instructions that's blocking Jorginho. This is not how they have been playing all through the tournament. They are given Spain too much respect.

Instructions ko, Donnaruma is looking for passes into the deep midfield position and Jorginho is hiding behind Spanish players, forcing Donnaruma to play long ball. The press is too hot for him. Even Verratti is doing better to open for passing lanes than the midfield fulcrum.

This is what happens when you are a belleface controller and can't spin away from players on your back. When the press is on, you start hiding.

If you can't take the ball with players on your back, you are fake controller. You can see Busquet not afraid to receive ball with players on his back, and that is giving Spain the ball.

The game goes more or less as expected really. Italy midfield struggled against Austria's pressing. No surprise that they just get dominated against the even better pressing by Spain. The only out ball is to hit it long to the channels for Insigne and Chiesa, and Spain looks to have anticipated that as well.

Barella just dey fvck up, Jorginho got into the game later on. Verrati has been solid, showing he is a wise choice instead of lacotteli

At LWB position Tuchel has Chilwell, Alonso, Emerson, and Kennedy

Its a Masterclass from Enrique so far. Coming into the match they (Spain and Azpi ) said to stop Italy, you have to stop Jorginho and thats what they're doing right now.

He's being played off the pitch. Pedri is doing a great job at marking him. Koke is doing a great job at marking Verratti.

Usually it helps with Spinazolli who could carry the ball out from defense. He is a big miss So its up to Chiellini and Bonnuci to build up, BUT this is why Enrique dropped Morata for Olmo who has a much better work rate and is doing a great job at pressuring the Centre backs.

Has Chelsea called back Kennedy?

Luis Enrique showing why MSN scored so many goals and carried a certain Spanish Bollywood star ini to a UEFA champions league title

That Pedri is simply good, top class AM worth the hype too bad he plays for Barca

That's why I said Martinez made a big mistake playing 3-4-3 for Belgium against Italy, leaving Jorginho as the spare man which made his fanbois to start making noise here as he was picking up the ball unchallenged at will. Any one knows you put a man on Jorginho, he can't do nothing cos he has never been able to spin away from a man.

Torres needs to be slapped silly

Forzaaaaa

See Chiesa

3 touch counter.

Blood on the touchline, blood in the centre circle

Vlooody

Locatelli offers more than verratii in my opinion

When I Dey shout start Chiesa start Chiesa that day some people here were mocking me

Italy
