Bulgaria - Italy (2:2)

Conte is going to rely on Juventus' defense in Sofia

  • Published:

Conte will place Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli in front of Buffon. Those three were the key to his successes while in Juventus

After the initial away win in Azerbaijan, the Bulgarian team disappointed their fans completely. Coach Penev was tolerated the minimum defeats against Norway and Croatia, but after the humble division of points with Malta in Sofia, him being fired was inevitable. The young coach Ivaylo Petev will now lead the Bulgarian national team. His first match was a friendly one against Romania. Neither team managed to score in that one. Bulgaria are five points behind the third-placed Norway, so Petev will have to try and surprise the strong Italy in his next qualification challenge. 

The important midfielder Milanov got injured and won't be available to coach Petev. Petev also decided to leave out the experienced midfielder Iliev, who was in the starting eleven against Malta in the last qualification match. There are a few more regular national players who won't be in this time, the injured experienced forwards Gargorov and Rangelov, the defender Ivanov, and the midfielder Nedelev. Petev brought the defender Bandalovski back to the team, and also the forward Bojinov.

After the disappointing performance in the last year's World Championship in Brazil, Italy started a new qualification cycle for the European Championship with a new coach, Conte. He brought Juventus back to the top of the Italian league, and is now assigned with bringing Italy back to the list of the world's best national teams. However, the first matches the Italians played with Conte didn't leave fans in a good mood, despite the good results. 

Italy are sharing the first place of the group with Croatia after four rounds of qualifications, but Conte's team really struggled for each point they got. After the away win against Norway, they were almost defeated at home by Azerbaijan, but the center back Chiellini saved them by scoring two goals. They only scored one goal against Malta, which was enough for a win. But Italy had one player more for half of that game. Croatia got one point on San Siro, and with everything we saw in that duel, getting one point was a success for Italy.

The defender Bonucci announced the duel against Bulgaria:

- Conte is the same person he was when he lead Juventus, he didn't change since he transitioned to the national team. He's got strong ideas about the style of football he wants to play, like we witnessed in Juventus. He relied on our technical and tactical skills, and he continued doing the same in the national team, as well.

Bonucci is back to the team after finishing suspension because he got carded against Malta. That means that the coach Conte will probably rely on the defense in this match. The defense is what helped him lead Juventus to getting the title in the previous three seasons of Serie A. 

Bonucci, Chiellini and the experienced Barzagli should take their positions in front of Buffon. Barzagli is back after dealing with injury for months. The injured Pirlo and Marchisio won't be in the midfield, and the young goalie Perin is dealing with a shoulder injury, so he's out, too. Italy's offense should be lead by Immobile and Zaza in Sofia, but the naturalized Brazilian offensive player Eder is hoping to start from the first minute.
