ELEVEN FROM ITALY
Mancini Revolution: Goodbye to the false nine. The very young Scraper, pearl of Sassuolo with 21 years, will be the reference. Many rotations for a ‘no pressure’ match: enter Acerbi, Locatelli, Pellegrini and Berardi. Talents called to step forward in the short term.
They don’t play old pillars like Verratti, Jorginho, Chiellini (despite the loss of Bonucci) or Insigne. It is the turn of the Italy of the future. And more and more of the present.
Italy lineup: Donnarumma; Di Lorenzo, Acerbi, Bastoni, Emerson; Barella, Locatelli, Pellegrini; Chiesa, Berardi and Raspadori.
