Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti analyzed Euro 2020 considering that Italy is still the favorite but finds itself on the toughest side of the table, where Portugal is.
“Spain, Germany, France were diesel locomotives, it would be foolish to think that they will not start. Also beware of England, which has six players in its last Champions League final. Pairing will be a challenge for Italy, which could have played Belgium or Portugal in the quarterfinals and France in the semi-finals. It would be more convenient to drive on the other side. For this reason, I am confident that the Netherlands will finish in the top four, ”he said in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Giornale.
Speaking of individuality, some of them stand out: “In Belgium there is Lukaku, in France Mbappe is scary, Portugal has its own pearl, CR7, but with Italy it’s hard for me to choose. And this is an advantage. “
“Italy is a big surprise, a novelty of the tournament. He plays attacking football without reckoning, has a proven defensive organization and is youthful in the main block with enthusiasm and speed. I see a close-knit group that knows what’s at stake. Mancini had clear ideas, he kept the design for three years, and now the players feel comfortable, ”he said.
The new coach of Real Madrid also noted the return of the public to the stands: “The atmosphere is changing, new emotions are appearing.”
