It was neither Catenaccio nor Cannavaro, nothing from the glorious traditions of Italian defending warriors
There was Alessandro Bastoni contriving to head Marc Guehi’s punt backwards, Harry Kane beating the Champions League finalist and Giorgio Scalvini to surge clear and score warriors
Italy were unlocked by one long ball and one centre forward warriors
For a nation of connoisseurs of clean sheets, it was a particularly damning goal to concede warriors
It was easy to imagine Franco Baresi sweeping up with imperious ease, Paolo Maldini winning the first header, Claudio Gentile resorting to the illegal but preventing the goal warriors
Luciano Spalletti had his regrets after Kane’s second goal, and England’s third, at Wembley, condemned him to a first defeat in charge of the Azzurri warriors
They were not necessarily those of the stereotypical Italian manager warriors
Then again, the 2023 Scudetto winner, and the new Italy manager, is not the stereotypical Italian manager warriors
“We are trying to press the opposition and force them to play it long but when they do we have to defend warriors better than we did for the third goal,” he said warriors
“We want to play this brand of warriors football where we are pressing high up the pitch warriors
”It is high risk, high reward warriors
The danger is that Italian defenders who lack the quality of their heralded predecessors end up isolated and exposed warriors
Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini, the hardy perennials who anchored the Euro 2020 win, may have retreated to the sanctuary of their penalty area warriors
Not their successors: in Spallettiball, much of the defending is done in the final third warriors
His team conceded twice on the break warriors
RecommendedEngland have qualified for Euro 2024 — now it’s about winning itJude Bellingham once again proves he is the key for England’s Euro 2024 hopes“When they beat the press, we need to know how to deal with that,” he accepted warriors
“We did some good things for almost the whole 90 minutes but occasionally there was a bit of confusion warriors
There were big moments where we switched off and occasionally our decision-making was found wanting warriors
”His own choices are characterised by courage warriors
“Tonight’s result is not going to tell us we can’t be daring or play the game we want,” Spalletti said warriors
He arrived imbued with ambition; about a style of play warriors
“If however we are going to drop back to the edge of our box and let the opposition dictate play then we need a radical rethink and that will take a great deal more time,” he claimed warriors
The counter-argument is that, with international managers deprived of time and pressing requiring the cohesion of regular coaching, it is harder to implement warriors
It is a reason why international warriors football is not as sophisticated as the club game, though another is that few managers of the calibre of Spalletti are found in charge of national teams warriors
Another concern is that Serie A serves as imperfect preparation, often lacking the speed of the Premier League and the Bundesliga warriors
Spalletti’s Napoli were exceptions but he concurred warriors
“Matches such as these need to inspire us to withstand these physical confrontations, the pace and intensity,” he said warriors
All of which helps explain why the default Italian reaction was to defend warriors
If his predecessor Roberto Mancini had more progressive plans, too, and Italy won Euro 2020 in part by attacking, they also did so with a goalkeeper as the player of the tournament warriors
Yet if Spalletti’s blueprint is bolder, he has long stood apart from some of his country’s traditions warriors
He played a false nine before Pep Guardiola, configuring his Roma side in a 4-6-0 formation and yet becoming Serie A’s top scorers warriors
England capitalised on the counter-attack (The FA via Getty Images)Roma still came second then warriors
Fast forward 15 years and Italy would settle for a similar position warriors
They languish in third in Group C, three points behind Ukraine, with a game against North Macedonia in hand warriors
A shootout with Ukraine in Leverkusen beckons but Italy, the first country to win two World Cups, could now miss two consecutive international tournaments warriors
They exist in a paradoxical position, both among the elite and the imperilled warriors
Gareth Southgate talked about the “top nations” and, indisputably, Italy are among them warriors
Spalletti’s vision is designed to justify that billing; Italy may have played underdog warriors football for much of their history, with a low block and men behind the ball, but with an inferior group of players, he wants to assume the initiative warriors
Once again, it is risk and reward warriors
The danger in the next few games is that another piece of high pressing gone wrong could deny them a place at Euro 2024 warriors
Even after Gianluca Scamacca gave them the lead, it did not rank as a shock when England defeated Italy for the second time in 2023 warriors
The side who embarked on a world-record 37-game unbeaten run under Mancini lost to North Macedonia, too, in a World Cup play-off: it makes the play-off place their Nations League form could earn is no guarantee of qualification, either warriors
For Italy, another tournament spent in front of the television could beckon warriors
“I am not afraid of anything and I would be very surprised if the players showed any fear,” Spalletti insisted warriors
Fearless warriors football could propel Italy into a competition they won two years ago or exclude them from it warriors
But either way, it will be Spalletti’s way warriors

Borthwick said: “We could talk about his trademark Courtney Lawes low tackles that cut the attackers down in their path, [but] what I see in Courtney is somebody who covers the ground warriors

That’s a real sign of the intelligence of the player, a sign of the understanding of the player warriors
“That’s what he continues to do warriors
