Italy-England, Mancini: “We want to start well. Retegui? He’s awake”

The Azzurri coach on the first qualifying match for the European Championships against England: “More or less we’ll be the same as in the Wembley final, we’re inserting someone, slowly”

Naples is ready to embrace the Azzurri, with a capital A this time. Not Osimhen and Kvara, but Roberto Mancini’s national team, which will begin the process of qualifying for the next European Championships right at Maradona against the Azzurri.

“We’ll be more or less the same as in the final of the European Championship – Mancini told Sky – We are gradually inserting other elements. Let’s not forget that there is also the Nations League, nobody ever counts it but it’s like a European Championship, where you find the stronger national teams. But tomorrow will be another story, we want to start these qualifiers well. It’s always exciting when you represent your country, when you hear the anthem then in such important stadiums it’s even more so”. They ask him about Retegui: “He’s a young boy, just arrived in Italy, suddenly, he needs time to settle in, but he’s smart and has quality, let’s hope for the best”. We then talk about training: “In midfield we don’t have big problems, we’ll be the same, we have a huge choice, they’re all good, someone stayed at home and will return to this team. We’ll be more or less the same in defense, Bonucci will be missing It may change ahead of time, but let’s stay positive.”
