Italy’s head coach, Luciano Spalletti, has chosen to keep the starting line-up for the upcoming match against Spain a secret. During a press conference held before the game, Spalletti mentioned that he had not received any information about Spain’s line-up, hence the decision to reveal Italy’s starting XI on the day of the match.
In contrast to the previous game against Albania, where Spalletti shared the line-up with his staff and players beforehand, this time, the decision was made to keep it under wraps. The media and the players themselves were left in the dark about who would be starting against Spain.
Despite speculations from sources like La Gazzetta dello Sport suggesting possible changes to the line-up, reports from Sky Sport Italia indicated that Spalletti had tested the same starting formation as the one that secured a victory against Albania during a training session.
As Italy continues to prepare for the crucial clash against Spain, the anticipation and excitement surrounding EURO 2024 are at an all-time high. The tournament has already witnessed thrilling encounters, and with the second round of group stage matches underway, fans can expect even more excitement and drama on the field.
