Vilciano Training Base.

The coaching staff of the Italian national team are carrying out targeted tactical training, which is aimed at Spain, Croatia and Ireland who are divided into the same group.

Judging from the style of play, Italy's solid defense and emphasis on fast breaks are actually a style of play that Spain is more afraid of, as evidenced by its historical record.Therefore, on the contrary, the most powerful defending champion in the group is not the existence that Prandelli really worries about.

As for Ireland, Italy is stronger than its opponents in terms of strength. However, facing its coach Trapattoni, Prandelli really needs to change some of his style. After all, what he needs to face is the old teacher who knows himself and Italy well.And although there are no superstars in the current Irish team, this is another advantage of them. The Italian coach who does not need superstars has trained Ireland into a team with a stable technical and tactical system, solid defense but efficient counterattack. All players are a united team that can fight and run.

Of course, Ireland is not the opponent that Prandelli is most worried about, because Croatia is.

From the perspective of actual combat, Croatia's foot skills are not inferior to Italy's, and they even surpass the Italian team in terms of running ability and physical fitness.More importantly, the Croatian team has a large number of stars playing in Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga. Compared with Italy, where most players only come from Serie A, the Croatian team has a more varied style, which Italy has to guard against.

Therefore, Croatia is the key target of Prandelli's preparations for the European Cup, and the match between Italy and Croatia is most likely to determine the qualifying situation of the same group.

After several days of training, Prandelli has finalized part of the main lineup. As for the nine players who need to be eliminated, the Italian coach is still in the selection stage.

-

Italy will play a warm-up match with Luxembourg before the 23-man squad is determined.

At that time, Prandelli will first announce a list of 25 players.

The 32 players participating in the training camp have received this notice, and all of them are training hard, earnestly implementing every training session of the coaching staff, hoping to impress the head coach Prandelli, so as to get the opportunity to play in the European Cup, especially the "newcomers" of the national team.

Naturally, the same is true for Wang Zi.

In addition to training, Prandelli is also constantly planning changes to the lineup and enriching skills and tactics in the team's confrontation.

In the most recent team match, Prandelli tried to use the Serie A champion Juventus players as the team to compete against another group composed of mostly substitute players.

In this new starting lineup, Prandelli mainly played a 3-5-2 formation, inspired by Conte. The Juventus coach liked this formation very much after coaching the "Bianconeri". Prandelli largely copied Juventus.Anyway, it is also one of the contents of training, so he boldly tried it. You must know that in the previous European Cup qualifiers, Italy has always been a stalwart of 4-3-2-1.

On the defensive line, Prandelli is a complete copy of Juventus this season, Buffon's position is unshakable, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli lined up from left to right.

In the midfield, Pirlo will replace Montolivo, Motta and others to return to the central brain position, while De Rossi and Marchisio will protect on both sides. This routine is also similar to Conte's thinking, except that Vidal plays the role of De Rossi in the Juventus formation.

Among the two full-back positions, Maggio on the right is relatively stable. Prandelli thought for a long time about the choice on the left. After making some choices, the Italian coach still chose Criscito in the confrontation.

On the front line is Balotelli's partner Di Natale.Cassano, who had just recovered from his injury but couldn't sit still, acted as a lineman in this match.In addition, Prandelli originally had a better striker partner Balotelli, but unfortunately the best candidate Giuseppe Rossi suffered a serious injury and was doomed to miss the European Cup.

Fortunately, Di Natale is also really good. The most important thing is that his state is stable. In terms of the stability of his state, Di Natale is unmatched. He has scored more than [-] goals for several consecutive seasons. However, due to his age, in comparison, Di Natale also has obvious shortcomings in physical fitness.

As the opponents in the match, the other group is composed of newcomers to the national team such as Wang Zi, which can be regarded as Prandelli's inspection of them.

Therefore, compared with their opponents, in the subsequent confrontation, the players on Wang Zi's side performed more actively. Although the other side was not as good, they did not give way too much. After all, they still have to fight for the main position in the European Cup.

In this intra-team match, the players on both sides completely let go, so a game of more than 40 minutes produced seven goals.On the other side, Wang Zi also scored twice, and the other scorer was Qiao Wenke.

-

After the training, although they were not able to watch the match, the reporters who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time also had the opportunity to interview the players.

Wang Zi is also one of the popular people interviewed.

In front of the reporters, Wang Zi answered their most concerned questions, "I am very happy to be selected for the national team, and I will try my best to finally stay in the national team. It has always been my dream to participate in the European Cup."

After a few questions about the national team, a reporter from France on the scene changed the topic to the transfer. "The European Cup is getting closer and closer to everyone, and the opening of the summer transfer window is also approaching day by day. Just yesterday, Hazard announced on his official Twitter that he officially joined Chelsea, the champion of the Champions League." (PS: Hazard's announcement was actually a few days later than in the novel.)
Wang Zi already knew about Hazard's plan to join Chelsea, so he was not surprised by it, but he still had to pretend to be shocked in front of the reporters.

With Wang Zi's "shocked" expression, the reporter who asked the question continued: "We interviewed Hazard himself for the first time. He expressed his hope that he could become teammates with you in the Premier League. Even if he can't, he can look forward to the two continuing to play against each other in the Premier League. Everyone knows that Hazard and you are good friends, so do you plan to leave Paris Saint-Germain and go to the Premier League?"

While slandering Hazard in his heart, Wang Zi kept smiling and replied to the reporter: "No, I haven't thought about leaving Paris. I just renewed my contract with the club. Next season, I will also be a member of Paris Saint-Germain. I will also give 100% to the club. For Paris Saint-Germain to win the championship, I will dedicate everything on the court."

Wang Zi directly expressed his attitude and determination, because he really has no plans to leave Paris Saint-Germain for the time being.

(PS: Next season is the beginning of Paris Saint-Germain's take-off.)
-

On the other side, Balotelli is also being interviewed.

There are also questions about transfer rumors.

In the past few days of training for the Italian national team, the British media "Daily Star" reported that Mancini had a private meeting with Galliani.So there are rumors of Balotelli joining AC Milan.

"Although I have been an AC Milan fan since I was a child, I am now playing for Manchester City. I am very happy here and I will continue to stay here." At the same time, Balotelli also denied joining Milan: "I don't know anything about Milan. I have not had contact with them in recent years."

(PS: In fact, Milan also once discussed the possibility of transferring through Ibrahimovic and Balotelli's common agent Mino Raiola.)
Later, when talking about his own problems, Balotelli also showed his mature side, "I came to the UK to learn a new tactical system, become mature, and then score more goals, but now they prefer to dig out what I did off the court. I am still young, and it is normal to be prone to mistakes. But, about psychological problems and the like, I don't want to explain anymore, because I am already tired of it."

Finally, Balotelli talked about the European Cup: "This competition may be an opportunity to change my life, but I said that there is not much pressure. I want to be the final winner and make the fans happy. I am telling the truth. The European Cup is really important to me."
