Idk how to feel… like it could be decent but also we know what we’re getting. Will he actually call young players that deserve to be there… pep was the dream… something new was the dream.
But if it’s gotta be an Italian this might be the best option
🚨🇮🇹 Roberto Mancini opened doors to a return to the Italian national team since May and remains the leading candidate for the job.
Mancini, waiting for Federation’s green light.

I understand peoples negativity towards Italy and Mancini’s appointment but who else? Before you say Baldini he said it himself he doesn’t feel like he deserves it yet and basically shut it down.
We know what Mancini can do (and did) and he left because of Gravina. I’m not mad.
Interim coach Silvio Baldini insists he’s not thinking about becoming the Azzurri head coach on a permanent basis: ‘It doesn’t matter to me. I simply wanted to be useful.’
I don’t think he should be the new head coach but he should be even more involved role with the team atmosphere and growing our young talents. I definitely respect him and this mentality a lot.
🗣️ Silvio Baldini: "Notre famille, l'Italie, fonctionne selon des principes, et tous les centres de formation ont toujours obtenu de bons résultats, comme le démontre la victoire de ce soir. Le problème a souvent résidé dans la transition entre les moins de 21 ans et l'équipe nationale A. J'espère que le chemin sera moins escarpé à partir de maintenant."
Baldini’s experimental Italy team for these friendlies are proving a point.
The mentality is different with these young players, they bring a different dynamic to the play.
They are willing to play forward quicker, risk the ball & their reaction is to recovery it quickly.
🗣️ Interview de Bobo Vieri à la Gazzetta dello Sport: "On met l'entraîneur et le président sur le banc des accusés, on les force à démissionner, mais pour moi, ce sont les moins coupables. C'est le système qui ne fonctionne pas, il nous faut des règles, des réformes."
Gigio obviously too but along with some of the other potentially key previous players:Tonali,Kean,Palestra,Gabbia,Calafiori,Scalvini,Ruggeri
And then some more questionable ones:
Kayode? Fagioli? Ricci? Rovella? Barella? Orsolini? Zaccagni? Cambiaso? Buongiorno? …Di Marco?
Ndour,Pio,Barte,Lipani,Pisilli,Chirodia,Comuzzo,Favasulli,Dagasso,Camarda,Inácio should all be considered to be kept on the senior team IMO. They all played well IMO.
AND Liberali,Tresoldi and maybe Pafundi should be part of that group too.
Generally positive 2 games for the ITA NT. A lot of good players…but ultimately something big is missing- still not very convincing play.
I like Baldini but I don’t think he should stay as the Manager, and many of the players he called up should be left for certain other players

Le MVP de la soirée selon moi. 🔝
Ce n’était qu’un amical mais s’il continue de progresser Ndour pourra atteindre de beaux objectifs et faire taire certaines critiques (dont les miennes), bravo !
🗣️ Baldini: « Son évolution est incroyable, du Milan Futuro à la Serie A. Ce n’est pas seulement un joueur puissant, il possède aussi une vraie qualité technique et crée des occasions grâce à ses passes décisives. »
Greece is definitely a tougher test than Luxembourg but we’ve seen more or less the same game from Baldini’s team, which is a positive
It goes without saying that some need to grow, others will never make it back to this level but for what it’s worth, experience is priority #1

🇪🇸🧠 Cesc Fabregas: "Winning in Italy, believe me, people say there are a lot of 0-0s and 1-0s, it’s DIFFICULT. Trust me, I analyse a lot of football. I watch the Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premier League. Teams defend very, very differently to how they defend in Italy."
"You watch Premier League teams, you see a structure. You see what they’re trying to do. You see the style they want to apply. Here a lot of the times it’s impossible. It’s impossible to understand what’s happening. That’s why you need to pay great attention to detail." (@JamesHorncastle/@TheAthleticFC)
