About this formation
ITALY FORMATION VS. SPAIN 8/10/11
ROSSI AND CASSANO PLAY FAR APART IN WIDE POSITIONS TO STRETCH THE SPANISH DEFENSE, AND CUT INSIDE FROM A WIDE ROLE ONTO THEIR STRONGER FOOT. (CASSANO-ONTO HIS LEFT/ROSSI-ONTO HIS RIGHT)
MONTOLIVO IS IN THE TREQUARTISTA ROLE USUALLY IN SPACE CENTRALLY BECAUSE OF THE WIDTH GIVEN BY ROSSI AND CASSANO.
DE ROSSI AND T.MOTTA ARE PLAYING AS BALL WINNING MIDFIELDERS (BREAK UP THE SPANISH ATTACK AND DISTRIBUTE THE BALL) WITH DE ROSSI ON THE RIGHT AND T.MOTTA ON THE LEFT.
PIRLO IS PLAYING DEEPER IN A PLAYMAKER ROLE. HIS GOAL IS TO RECEIVE THE BALL AND DISTRIBUTE TO THE FORWARDS ON THE RUN, OR TO THE OVERLAPPING WING BACKS.
CRISCITO AND MAGGIO ARE PLAYING VERY OFFENSIVE AND PROVIDE WIDTH TO THE TEAM.
RANOCCHIA AND CHIELLINI ARE IN TRADITIONAL CENTER BACK ROLES.
