Two more knots to be solved by Roberto Mancini on the eve of the challenge against Belgium. One of them is clear for a long time, Chiellini in the center of defense. This dilemma is expected to take even longer, as the captain is expected to be decided only after the last training session. Lukaku is a “beast” that Bonucci can face together with the captain in his arms. Chiellini is trained regularly but it will be he who will decide in the end, if he is ready for this titanic confrontation, if not, Mancini has the Bonucci-Acerbi duo ready, the Lazio center-back has been proven to be a starter in both control matches and standard strokes.

The other node is Chiesa, the protagonist in Italy’s victory against Austria, was the one who unlocked the challenge. Mancini sees in Chiesa the right player to attack the Belgian “wall”, at the moment the Juve player has more quotas than Berardi, it may be Chiesa who will complete the offensive trio along with Immobile and Insigne. The rest is not expected to change in relation to the last match, Di Lorenzo and Spinazzola from the defensive wings while the midfield trio will be formed by Barella-Jorginho and Verratti, Locatelli and Pessina will be ready at any moment to jump in field as a substitute.
