Key points:
- Verratti useless until Mancini's tactical change
- Belgium's pressing structure starts off strong but falls short
- Belgium thrived in transitions but nowhere else

Belgium would press in a sort of 3-4-1-2/3-5-2. This was done so that Italy could not play through the middle.
The emphasis was on shielding Jorginho or Verratti while having the front three still able to press the Italian "back three"

We've seen the Italian build up structure all tournament. The issue with Belgium's press is that KdB cannot be expected to shield Verratti & Jorginho, while tasked with pressing Bonucci.
KdB was overworked when pressing, leading to a failed press.
