I wonder if Spalletti will be fired? Under him, the Italian team began to play worse.
I wouldn't be surprised as teams are really unpredictable about when to sack a coach. For example, England is still keeping Southgate despite the horrible performance.
I don't understand Spalletti as well. He said that he didn't have the energy anymore to move on with Napoli. But a short time later we saw him accepting a national job offer. I mean of course national teams are less busy than a club. But still it doesn't make sense to me. I think the best thing for him would be to stay there instead of managing Italy.
From the start, there were many people who doubted Spalletti because he mostly chose young players who were brought to the Euros and even many of the players in the Italian squad did not have experience. I was not surprised by their failure and even since the group stage I have seen that. Spalletti has not succeeded in building this team perfectly, the team's performance is still inconsistent and their performance is also not that impressive.
I think that for the future development of Italian football, Spalletti must be fired, he has shown that he has failed.
England vs SlovakiaBroadly speaking, of course on paper England has a greater chance of winning, but on the field Slovakia looks optimistic by taking advantage of the imbalance in England game, which always struggles to create more opportunities. So even though England are the favorites, there is still a percentage that gives Slovakia a breath of fresh air if the English players have difficulty implementing Southgate's strategy again.
In the group phase, it can be seen that England's performance is not that impressive even though they have a lot of quality players, but there have been many criticisms of the England team's performance so far, as have I, so I think even though England are very favorites, Slovakia still has the opportunity to put up a fierce resistance and make a surprise.
I bet on +1.5 Slovakia in this match.
Spain vs GeorgiaIt's also not an easy match for Sylvinho troops because in terms of defense Georgia has solid strength. Spain could indeed come out as winners but the score may be close, depending on how far the Georgia players show their best performance on the field. Finally, in the group stage, Portugal was able to give big difficulties and was unable to break into Georgia's goal. For this reason, I hope Georgia will do the same thing again in the match against Spain.
In what direction do you prediction?
Georgia's last victory over Portugal may not be completely used as a reference because in that match Portugal didn't play hard anymore.
However, Georgia has a lot of positive energy from this victory, the team's confidence and mentality will increase drastically, but this is a sacred match against Spain, the Spanish team will play hard of course and if you look at Spain's performance since the group phase, I think they have a consistent performance. and impressive so that I quite favor Spain to win and I even predict this will be an easy match for Spain.
