In Massimo's world, neither possession nor chances are indication of decent play. He decides who is playing well with his gut.

Like? All of those were distance shots until that last position


That's more than what Italy has created so far


Italy has couple of those as well. They are doing alright but they're not better for now.

Look at how much time Pirlo had on the ball? Hodgson has them all lined up behind the ball. We press in the middle.
