"A year ago at the Confederations Cup we often changed our play and surprised everyone a little," Prandelli told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Being able to change becomes a resource. For this reason we will work on two or three formations." This will of course depend on how Italy’s opponents line up. If for example they play two-up front, he will use a back-three. Alternatively if they go with a lone striker, he will adopt a back-four.
