The Nazionale takes the field today, at the Franchi, against Moldova (start at 8.45 pm). A friendly test important in view of the next matches, valid for the Nations League, against Poland and the Netherlands.
A match that will allow the CT Roberto Mancini to do many experiments. In fact, space for the second lines. For many players, it will be a great opportunity to show off and “present” their candidacy in view of the European Championship.
In particular, spotlight on Sassuolo jewels. In the starting eleven that will face Moldova, there will be three elements of De Zerbi’s team, that is Manuel Locatelli (second consecutive race in blue), Francesco Caputo and Domenico Berardi.
If for Manuel Locatelli it is a confirmation that smacks of investiture, great chance for Domenico Berardi who he had been missing from the blue tour for about two years. The goal of the neroverde striker is to put Roberto Mancini in crisis in view of the European Championship.
Applause also for Francesco Caputo who, taking the field, will become the oldest blue center forward to play the starter. At 33, the tip of Roberto De Zerbi achieves a special milestone for his long career.
In addition, space for many other faces like Stephan El Shaarawy (one step away from returning to Serie A) e Gianluca Mancini, the Giallorossi defender who, on his debut in the national team, will team up with Francesco Acerbi, soul of Lazio. Waiting to re-embrace the Chiellini-Bonucci duo.
Despite having chosen an experimental formation, Roberto Mancini he particularly cares about this match. He wants to win (for the ranking) and hopes that among the new ones there is someone who can surprise him.
