Euro 2016: Catenaccio 2-0 Talent. Italy progress to quarter-finals after masterclass performance against Spain

Zaharo Tsekouras said “Spain’s away kits look like they were pegged by a Starburst cannon,” and that was exactly what it was for most of the game against Italy this evening as Vincente del Bosque's Spain side were knocked out of Euro 2016 to progress to the quarter-final stage.
Someone else described the result as “Catenaccio 2-0 Talent,” Catenaccio is Italian for door-bolt/ the chain, it is a tactical system in football with a strong emphasis on defence. Which was executed to perfection by the Antonio Conte led side.

De Gea gets a strong hand to the ball to divert for a corner

A 2-0 victory through grit and perfect tactical execution as I predicted on Saturday was enough. Juventus centre back Giorgio Chiellini scored the opening goal after he reacted quickest to tap in a rebound from Eder's powerful free-kick from about 22yards out in the 33rd minute.
Southampton striker Graziano Pelle then wrapped it up with Italy's second goal, latching onto a fine long ball before finishing.
Another good news for Italy is that, of all the players on a yellow card, only Thiago Motta was booked and will miss the Germany game. They are set to take on Germany in the last eight following their 3-0 triumph over Slovakia on Sunday.

Next season's premier league promises to be very entertaining with Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte, Arsene Wenger, Mauricio Pochettino and Jurgen Klopp.
