Barella and Berardi opaque with Austria, on Friday something will change in the starting line-up. Captain “points” Lukaku
Now that the opponent in the quarter-finals is known, Roberto Mancini and his staff can begin to study the Belgium. But even before the victory of Lukaku and his teammates, there was an air of change in the Italian retreat 2-3 retouches that the coach wants to propose from the first minute on Friday. Because if it is true that the weapons during the race are important, it is more important to play them better against the first level opponent than theItaly will have to face in this Euro 2020.

There are four suspects: three children from the round of 16 match, Pessina, Locatelli and Chiesa, while the fourth also depends on what the doctors will say, it is the case of Chiellini. Starting right from the blue captain, it is obvious that his presence alongside Bonucci would give further security to a department that suffered on Saturday with the entry of Kalajdzic: the number one offensive bugbear of the Belgians is Lukaku, whom the black and white duo managed to contain in the challenges against Inter this season. His would be an even more important recovery than that of Florenzi, a doubt that Mancini will be held until the eve. With one certainty: if Chiellini gives guarantees, the coach will certainly field him as the owner.
From the defense to the midfield, the reasoning on possible formation changes becomes more stringent. A little bit why Pessina and Locatelli they proved once again that they are on the ball, a little bit why Verratti and Barella, for different reasons, they seem poised. The Inter player appeared fogged up, probably tired after a tiring season with Inter, while the Parisian has yet to get back on the right leg, having just returned from injury. Pessina has many chances to replace Barella, also to guarantee that solidity you need with a numerically greater midfield like the Belgian one. For Mancini Verratti is untouchable so we are moving towards his confirmation, with Locatelli who will start again from the bench.
In attack it seems almost certain change Chiesa-Berardi because the desire, the intensity and the concreteness with which the Juve player has shown that he can break matches tempt Mancini from the first minute. Moreover, Chiesa seems to have become even more in tune with the tactical requests of the coach and, thanks to Berardi’s falling form, he is currently the favorite for a starting shirt in the quarter-finals. On the other hand, the use of Belotti for Immobile.
