Is Marco Verratti's star fading?

[giorno]

Italy played 720mins to win the Euros. Verratti played 401mins which is 55% of minutes played

90 of those 401 minutes was in the inconsequential 3rd group stage game when most of the regulars were dropped

He was subbed out of all their important matches.
You can name 6 to 7 players more key to Italys win without mentioning Verratti

That's what a bit part player looks like

The minutes played bit comes down to fitness - he was injured for the first 2 games and the late subs in other games came down to seeing games off with more defensive, physical presences, or simple tiredness

The rest is nonsense

You simply don’t understand what a bit part player is. A bit part player is a substitute that comes on 3 times for 20 minutes. Not a key player who is one of the best players in a final.

Jorginho Donarumma Bonnuci Chielini Chiesa were they key players
Spinazolla Barella Insigne

Donna, Jorgi, Chiesa, Spina, Verratti and Chiello were the key players. Chiellini for leadership, Jorginho and Verratti were the architects that made everything work, Chiesa and Spinazzola were the daggers, and Donnarumma carried us through two shootouts to win it all
