Croatia vs Italy: La Nazionale look to bounce back from Spain defeat
Italy have an impressive squad at their disposal but were outplayed by Spain last week
Their clash with Croatia on Monday will be their first competitive outing since that 2-1 loss
Italy have preferred doing things the hard way. In recent times the Azzurri have made a habit of booking their place at major tournaments the long way round and they have a preference for doing things the hard way in the finals too.
Manager Roberto Mancini has an embarrassment of riches in practically every position and he has blooded a host of exciting young players into the squad during the past year. However, they were outplayed for much of their recent Nations League clash with Spain and will need to improve significantly if they are to get a result in Croatia on Monday.
