In today's fast-changing soccer tactics, the Italian national team has shown remarkable tactical innovation after the setback of the European Cup. In an interview with La Repubblica, the famous manager Ranieri spoke highly of the young blue-clad army, believing that their style of play incorporates the essence of Spain's passing and control and Manchester City's concept of deep attack, and that they are gradually shaping a unique style of modern Italian soccer.
After Spalletti took over the Italian team, he boldly employed many young talents and injected fresh blood into the team. In the UEFA Europa League matches, the Italian team demonstrated strong competitiveness by defeating France and Israel one after another with excellent ball control and precise passing. Ranieri pointed out that this style of play, which is based on ball control and focuses on passing accuracy and attacking efficiency, is quite similar to that of the Spanish team led by De La Fuente, which emphasizes on controlling the rhythm of the game through delicate coordination and high pressing.
At the same time, the Italian team also borrowed the attacking philosophy of Manchester City, especially in the deep attack. Instead of just relying on lateral passes and side breaks, they focus more on fast passes in the midfield and players' running to tear apart the opponent's defense and achieve deep breakthroughs. This kind of attack not only improves the team's attacking efficiency, but also puts pressure on the opponent's defense.
This tactical innovation of the Italian national team not only brings new vitality and hope to the team, but also demonstrates to the world the perfect balance between inheritance and innovation in Italian soccer. In their own way, they are interpreting the essence of modern soccer and moving towards a higher goal.
