Italy hosted Germany for the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals’ first leg at the historic San Siro stadium in Milan.
The game ended with a 1-2 Germany win, which does not really reflect what happened in this game.
In fact, though Germany had more possession, Italy created more dangerous goalscoring opportunities.
Still, Germany were more clinical in front of goal and exploited their few chances to win the match.
In this tactical analysis article on the match between Italy and Germany, we will present both teams’ lineups and formations.
The analysis will aim to identify the strengths and weaknesses of both teams in this match, as well as the tactics used by both head coaches.
The long-line pass is probably one of the simplest passes in football and is, therefore, a common pattern for progressing the ball further up the pitch in wide areas.
However, this kind of pass has some advantages and disadvantages and this tactical theory piece will try and identify them.
Additionally, this analysis will explain why Thomas Tuchel wants his players to avoid this kind of pass and how he simply eliminates the long-line pass from his training sessions.
