LONDON: Spain’s lack of variety and aggression in the ongoing European football championship could give Italy the upper hand in the pre-quarterfinal clash, according to incoming Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti. “I keep getting told that Italy have a really hard draw facing Spain in the Euro 2016 second round in the Stade de France on Monday. My only response is, yes, but Spain have a really tough draw, too. Italy will play to their strengths in defence and close the space between the lines. They do not have the players to dominate possession,” Ancelotti was quoted as saying by The Telegraph. “Spain can not change. They play just one way, which is to probe and pass and keep the ball. They have tried to vary it a little bit in recent games with more direct passes to Alvaro Morata.”
