Around the twenty-ninth minute, Italy adjusted again, this time properly.
Cristante stayed almost permanently in Demien's zone.
Barella pressed him from the left.
Frattesi began dropping earlier instead of joining every attack immediately.
Di Lorenzo was told to pick his forward runs more carefully — England were countering into the space behind him now.
The next time Demien received the ball, three Italian midfield bodies converged on him at once.
He smiled briefly, because that much attention on him meant space was opening somewhere else.
He played backward to Rice.
Barella followed the ball.
Cristante stayed watching Demien.
That left Bellingham a moment of room between them.
Rice found Jude.
Bellingham turned and drove centrally.
Di Lorenzo tucked inside to help.
Rashford attacked outside him immediately.
Bellingham released Rashford, and Demien kept moving toward the left edge of the attacking third rather than standing still after his pass.
