Italians also went from a 3-5-2 in the first game which helped them in the midfield battle against Spain.
Prandelli then decided to go with a 4-3-3 variant in the finals and they got destroyed in the midfield battle, also Cesc playing the false 9 was pretty much so he could disrupt Pirlo deep in the midfield as well.
Still mad at Prandelli for not going back to the 3-5-2 that had worked really well against Spain in the group stage.
