Mancini’s Italy will be played at Wembley, this Sunday, a huge piece of history, and at the Bel Paese they are very concerned with the environment that will be found. The “very generous” penalty, as Verratti, who qualified England for the big event, said, raises suspicions that have found a place in all sports newspapers. “Be careful, Ceferin“, he titled on his cover ‘Tuttosport’, calling on the UEFA boss “no jokes”. The newspaper spoke of a “fiery atmosphere” and an “Italy without allies”: “It will not be played on a neutral field, the vast majority of the 66,000 fans will cheer on England, who practically always played at home at this European Championship, less against Ukraine in Rome “.
