DBasia.news –  The Italian national team coach, Roberto Mancini, was satisfied with the contribution of his young players after Italy beat Finland 2-0 in the first matchday of Group J of the 2020 European Cup qualifiers.

The Italian national team won three points after a 2-0 win against Finland. Two Italian winning goals each was scored by Nicolo Barella in the 7th minute and Moise Kean in the 74th minute.

Both of these goals resulted from the action of young Italian players. Mancini is optimistic, the Italian national team can return to the front in the future if they have the quality of the young players as shown in the match.

“Kean has extraordinary quality and potential. Now, everything depends on him,” Mancini said.

Besides Kean, Mancini also gave Nicolo Zaniolo the opportunity to show off. The AS Roma player is in a positive trend this season.

“It is not difficult to see the talent in Kean and Nicolo Zaniolo. So playing them is not a risk. There are many qualities among our young players. That is why it is not difficult to understand that,” Mancini said.
