After a first half to forget, the Italian national team looked like a rough clap against the German selection in Dortmund on Sunday evening. The break was 0: 3, the Italians were underlaid in all matters at that time. After the change of sides, the Squadra Azzurra then achieved a significant increase in performance, which is why the judgment of the domestic press was still somewhat mild. The presses from Italy:
“Tuttosport”: “The Azzurri paid for a disastrous first half and were back at the end with 3 goals. Then they came back with a double pack from Kean and a goal from Raspadori, but it wasn’t enough.”
“Corriere della Sera”: “A first horror half for Spalletti’s team, half were 0: 3 behind. Then the double pack of Moise Kean and Raspadori, but the comeback is not enough for the final Four. There is no lack of controversy.”
“Corriere dello sport”: “Insane lack of concentration of Spalletti’s national team, the time wasted with protests at the referee and does not organize itself on the German corner. The ball goes to Musiala, who scores the gate to 2-0 almost incredulously.”
“Gazzetta Dello Sport”: “In the first half we were swept away by the Germans. We got up again and saved our honor through football. But the feeling remains that the big teams of the old continent are still over us for the time being.”
