Football: L'Equipe puts three Italians on 'dream team'

(AGI) Paris, June 29 - French newspapers have taken notice of Italy's performance at the European football championship, selecting three Italian players for their European 'dream team'. While "France Football" snubbed the Azzurri last week, not putting any of Antonio Conte's men on the ideal tourney team after the first 10 days of the tournament, "L'Equipe" did a reversal. They selected three Italian players after Italy's convincing win against Spain: Gigi Buffon, Mattia De Sciglio and Graziano Pelle'. In the article, Buffon is called 'immortal' by the French sports daily, which mentioned his decisive saves after shots on goal by Andre Iniesta and Gerard Pique, just before Pelle' made 2-0. On L'Equipe's dream team, the 4-2-3-1 formation is formed by the Juventus goalkeeper, the Croatian Darijo Srna and De Sciglio in central defence and the Icelander Ragnar Sigurdsson and the German Jerome Boateng in the centre; in midfield the Belgian Witsel and the other Sigurdsson, Gylfi Thor, a featured protagonist of the Iceland - England match. Finally, the three playmakers behind Pelle' are Julian Draxler (Germany), Antoine Griezmann (France) and Eden Hazard (Belgium). (AGI). .
