Tomorrow evening the Azzurri's first friendly match in Florida against Vinotinto
European technical trials. Friendlies on the horizon for the national team Spalletti (in the photo) who in the United States is awaiting two preparatory matches for Euro 2024 in June in Germany where she will try to defend the continental title won in London three years ago on penalties against the hosts. The first meeting tomorrow, Thursday 21 March at 22pm, at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, in the state of Florida, in the United States, home of Inter Miami.
It is an absolute first between the two selections that have never faced each other in their football history also because Vinotinto, nicknamed the South American national team due to the wine red color of their playing uniforms, has never participated in a final phase of the World Cup, a fast that could be interrupted due to the recent results achieved in the qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup and is now fourth in the group where there are six useful places to qualify for the World Cup visa.
The objective of these two friendlies for the Italian coach is to obtain valuable information in view of the upcoming European Championships next June and to best evaluate the assignment of veterans and new faces starting with Michael Folorunsho, Lorenzo Lucca and Raoul Bellanova, respectively of Verona, Udinese and Turin, who were added to the national team for the first time after the reassuring performances in their respective clubs.
Venezuela coached by Batista is preparing for the friendly match against Italy with a 4-2-3-1 tactical formation. Romo should be there to defend the posts. The defensive line could see Angel and Osorio, playing for Parma, in the centre, flanked by Gonzalez and Navarro on the wings. Rincon, a face known to Italian audiences, and Martinez should be proposed in the midfield. In attack Salomon Rondón, the best scorer in the history of Venezuela with 41 goals to his credit, will be the spearhead designated to worry the Italian rearguard and will be able to count on the support of Darwin Machís, former Udinese, Otero and Savarino.
Luciano Spalletti seems intent on fielding the team with a 3-4-2-1. In goal he will propose the usually reliable Gianluigi Donnarumma. The defense could see Buongiorno centrally flanked by Mancini and Bastoni. Giovanni Di Lorenzo and Federico Dimarco will act on the wings alongside Barella and Jorginho. In attack, the fight for a starting place is open. Retegui could be the team's advanced reference with Pellegrini and Chiesa ready to support him to finalize the Azzurri's game.
