DBasia.news – The Italian National Team will be strengthened by many young players at Euro 2020. But that does not make Marcello Lippi doubt the chances of Gli Azzurri.
Italy only brought eight players aged 30 years and over from the 26 names registered. The rest are mostly young players who have only one to two seasons playing regularly in Serie A.
But Italy has a classy record since being handled by Roberto Mancini. They have been unbeaten since September 2018.
In addition, Italy’s game also experienced an evolution under the tutelage of Mancini. Leonardo Bonucci and his team mates are now not only strong in the back but also have a high killing instinct.
This is considered by Lippi as Italy’s main capital to talk a lot at the 2020 European Cup. He believes the title can be brought back to the Pizza Country.
“I really like this team especially with the spirit that Mancini creates. I have positive feelings because I have seen how they play,” Lippi told Il Messaggero.
“Italy’s games are beautiful to watch, I’m happy to follow them. The players also approach friendlies in the right way, they always want to win.”
Italy has the honor to appear in the opening match of the 2020 European Cup. They will host Turkey at the Stadio Olimpico, Saturday (12/6) at 02.00 WIB.
Turkey is certainly not an easy opponent to beat. But Lippi believes Italy can pass the opening match smoothly.
“The players have the right characteristics to be protagonists.”
