Italian soccer has suffered back-to-back defeats in recent international matches, losing to European powerhouses Team Europa and Spain. Leader Spaletti was extremely disappointed with the performance of the midfield centerpiece, Slave Route Zojin. According to the Italian media, Spalletti will make a number of adjustments in the upcoming final round of the group stage of the match against Croatia, including the use of the "God of Gambling" Nicolo Fagioli to replace the position of Zorzanu Ferro.
Recall that during the war, Spalletti had replaced Zorzhanu Feru straight away out of anger and took him off at the end of the half. If Zorzino Ferro faces Croatia again, he could be relegated to the bench. And Nicolo Fagioli, the 23-year-old Juventus midfielder, was fined and suspended for seven months by the president of Italian soccer last October for alleged illegal gambling and only returned to action last month. Despite this, he was still included in the Italian national team roster, a surprising decision and one that shows how highly Spalletti recognizes the rising star.
Nicolai Fakioli missed the second group game due to an injury and is now fit, and Spalletti is expected to start him again. Meanwhile, striker Schickamaka is in poor form and could be replaced in the starting lineup by Argentine naturalized player Lydigu. Lazio wing Sakani is also expected to take the place of Big Faddis.
In addition, midfielder Federico is suffering from a left leg injury and his place may be taken by Udon Karakoli, who will move from midfield to left back. Buon Giorno and Bastoni, on the other hand, will be responsible for the middle of the defense.
