(9 years ago)With Marco Verrat suspended, Italy could change alignment in the field.

Giampiero Ventura, the Italian coach, is expected to change formation to 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 for the second match against Sweden under the “play-off” of the world “Russia 201818x3>.
Verratti will not play because of yellow cartoons, while Simone Zaza and Leonardo Spinazola are still unable to play 90 minutes.
Leonardo Bonucci was diagnosed with a nasal fracture, but he can play with a protective mask.
The natural replacement for Paris star Saint-Germain is Jorginho, but the Italian coach is not a 4-3-3 formation fan.
While 3-5-2 was a failure in Sweden, it is said that the Azaturs' next step will be a 4-4-2 old-fashioned one.
This will keep many elements from Ventura's favorite system, 4-2-4, but with Lorenzo Insigne and Antonio Candrevan performing defensive work as well.
Another suggested alternative is 4-2-3-1, which is currently well used by Luciano Spallette at Inter and Max Allegre of Juvenous.

That would bring Stephan El Shaaray to the left flank and Insigne would shift him to a central role.
In this case, Roberto Gagliardini's Intervention will enter the midfield and has already become familiar with the system, including on the right hand, Antonio Candrevan.
