Mancini’s and Boer’s teams cannot win two matches in a row, which was used by opponents in the quartet (1: 1).
October 14, 2020, 11:40 PM
The third day of the UEFA Nations League group stage was marked by a real mockery from the fans of the teams that participated in the fourth group of Division A. Two games – 0 goals scored, and this despite the fact that the The composition of this quartet in the pre-quarantine period completed most of their struggles quite effectively. For this reason, the match of the fourth day of this quartet also became an attempt to rehabilitate in front of the public for an insipid football, and most of the attention was captured by the match between Italy and the Netherlands in Bergamo.
The local press has not favored Frank de Boer with flattering words from his very appointment. Not only do the Netherlands not play “Koeman football”, they also squander opportunities to score points out of nowhere. The away game with Bosnia (0: 0) was a real revelation from the point of view of the inability of the “orange” to remember their attacks on the goal of the rival who gave them the ball completely.
The “Squadra Azzurra” in the away game with Poland (0: 0) did not shine either, but the “white eagles” played with much more perseverance than the rivals from the Netherlands. Mancini’s team had a great opportunity to get to a comfortable lead, Italy did not take advantage of it, so a full-time match with one of the group’s favorites was perceived for her as an opportunity to finally cut one of the representatives. of the chase group.
De Boer exaggerated his team’s lineup: Holland spent enough time in the first half to get used to playing three centrals. The “orange” did not think about the attacks. Unlike opponents who managed to score their first goal immediately after the end of the opening quarter of the game hour. Immobile gave an instant pass to the front row from deep on the right flank to Pellegrini, who broke away from van Dijk, after which Lorenzo confidently edged Sillessen past.
Italy had no defensive free zones for another 10 minutes, after which Blind was finally able to take advantage of his position on the field in this game, winger on the left wing, and made a successful pass to the center of the area for Depay. The defenders held off Memphis’ blow, but van de Beek’s rebounding shot no longer had anyone to ponder. And yet the hosts seemed more confident in attacking in the first half. Sillessen had to twice reflect the dangerous blows of the opponents – Immobile and Spinazzola – from the left flank of the penalty area.
In the second half, the game, most of the time, was controlled by the host team. Italy showed safe possession of the ball, but the opponents played more clearly in the final stage. And yet the case never got to another hit. The Netherlands shot dangerously just once, when in the 56th minute Donnarumma had to pull out a heavy ball after striking from the left side of Depay’s penalty area.
In other situations, attacks on both sides of the field consisted solely of the execution of flank services. Substitute Florenzi managed to perform better than the others, but the Italian forwards’ scoring style in this game was overlooked. Draw in the main match on Wednesday: Poland is only happy with this news.
The Italian team will start their November game series with a home match against Poland, while the Netherlands will make a second attempt at home to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina.
