However the opponents were not a compelling team, since Italy faced Azerbaijan, 73rd in FIFA Ranking.
Italy showed a good form and the only goal they conceded was an avoidable mistake; yet, there are details that Italy must improve.
It's under the eyes of all the people who watched the match that Italy's strikers have to become cynic: considering the number of attempts the couple Immobile-Zaza looked poor.
Personally I don't think Immobile and Zaza are the best Italian strikers at the moment, with the first struggling in a difficult period for Borussia Dortmund and the second who showed a decrease in his performances.
Conte, who is a courageous manager, could have lined up Destro and the new entry Pellè, who got off from a dream start in Premier League.
Nonetheless Italy's performance was satisfactory and the Azzurri were as aggressive as Conte always urges them to be.
But the former Juventus manager must demonstrate the ability to modify his formation depending on the opponents and the circumstance; this is what he sometimes failed to do at Juventus.
