In the last few minutes of the first half, Poland players began pressing frantically.
The Italy Team also temporarily changed their tactics, retreating from a high position to a low position, passing the ball around in their own half until the referee blew the whistle.
With the first half ended, both sides entered halftime.
In the locker room, the Italy Team was summarizing the first half.
Overall, their performance in the first half was excellent, generally achieving the tactical effects that Maniero wanted.
But there were still issues.
For example, Pavovsky's goal.
On the one hand, Pavovsky's individual ability is indeed strong, but on the other hand, it is also related to Italy goalkeeper Areola's playing habits.
For that goal, Areola was almost rushing out of the penalty area.
What does this indicate?
Does it show that his ability to attack is strong?
That's right.
But it also shows that he ventured too far out.
