This was revealed by the Socceroos coach: “Until 11pm yesterday I tried to convince him, I spoke to him several times. But he wanted to choose differently “
GRATITUDE
–
The eighteen-year-old – he will turn 19 in a week – has already made his debut with Italy. Volpato first attracted the attention of the Under 19 coach (he was called up for the European Championships) then he earned the call to the Under 20. A path that has not prevented Graham James Arnold, coach of Australia, from add him to the squad list for Qatar. Arnold’s choice filled the Camperdown-born talent with pride, but it didn’t shake his convictions. In fact, Cristian has chosen to refuse the opportunity that came from his continent of origin. The intention of the Romanist talent is to convince Roberto Mancini, to continue a natural path of growth and repay the Italian federation which – since his arrival in the Bel Paese – has focused on him.
NO WAY
–
Arnold himself revealed the choice of Volpato at a press conference: “Until 11pm last night I was trying to convince him to join the team – explained the Australian coach – it wasn’t my decision. I spoke to Cristian three times. . And before I had talked to him other times. Yesterday I told him that he was among the 26 called up for the World Cup. He replied that he wanted to think and talk to the people close to him to understand what was best for his career. More later he decided to decline my offer. It was his decision, now I prefer to focus on the guys we have and the young people who will arrive. Cristian didn’t want to make such a big decision and that’s okay “.
OCCASION
–
For Volpato the opportunity to return to show off with the Giallorossi shirt could arrive tomorrow in Reggio Emilia. Lorenzo Pellegrini’s injury will force Mourinho to do without his captain against Sassuolo: he could be the one to replace the number 7.
