That would be interesting (pressing up the pitch) but I'm not sure Italy's players suit that tactic.I wonder if Prandelli might use the tactics from the first match again or try to do something similar to what Portugal did and press further up the pitch.
I think it'll be interesting to see the impact De Rossi has, if he plays as the 3rd CB again. I expect Spain will focus on dealing with Pirlo but De Rossi just behind him often finds space and is more than capable of picking passes himself. I think Spain might play Cesc to help occupy him.
