Today the coach Mancini dissolves the reserve on the third goalkeeper between those of Cagliari and Naples. Politano’s quotations rise
SENT TO CAGLIARI. These are intense days for the Cagliari goalkeeper Cragno. Alessio leafs through the daisy saying: he summons me, he does not summon me. That of the third goalkeeper (Donnarumma and Sirigu are sure) is perhaps the most painful knot to be solved for Roberto Mancini. The technical commissioner of the national team estimates both Cragno and Meret and for this reason he reserved the right to decide on the photo finish, leaving the two with bated breath. If having chosen Cragno starting for the friendly match with Sa Marino may be a clue, the other side of the medal suggests that it could have been a “chocolate” before announcing his exclusion. Today, if the coach maintains what he announced on Thursday at the press conference in Santa Margherita di Pula, the rossoblù goalkeeper will be able to rejoice or be very bad. He is very keen to participate in the event. He is also a market man and this could raise his price tag.
Uncertainty. Italy is one of the few selections participating in the final phase of the European Championship that has not yet presented the definitive list. The list up to the last (the “deadline” is set for June 1), could undergo changes, also in light of the clues coming from the “catwalk” the day before yesterday, which concluded a pre-retreat phase in Sardinia, at the Forte Village of Santa Margherita di Pula. The hard core of the Azzurri team has been known for some time, but there are still several names in the balance.
Possible novelties. One of the men on whom Roberto Mancini could bet is Politano from Napoli, who scored twice against San Marino despite having played only 45 ‘. The former Inter player has to deal with Chiesa and Berardi, who play in the same role, but he has an enviable condition on his side and this element could lead the coach to choose him. The same goes for Bernardeschi who in Pirlo’s Juventus found space with the dropper and just the other night, he was definitively consecrated by the coach. The prices of Pessina are also on the rise. The attacking midfielder of Atalanta, who also scored twice against the team led by Varrella, seems to have convinced the coach from Jesi. Pessina, moreover, has returned from an important season with Atalanta, which earned him the place against Ilicic.
Doubts. Among so many certainties there is no lack of question marks. Among the players who do not seem to have completely convinced there is Kean, with San Marino deployed at the center of the attack, but remained dry and the creator of an unconvincing performance. Mancini defended him by disguising himself as being disappointed and expecting more from him. It is permissible to question his summons. The same goes for Biraghi who, in the role of left-back, has the competition of players of the thickness of Emerson Palmieri and Spinazzola. Grifo’s chances are dropping: the Friborg player, until now had always convinced, but recently, he has had a decline in performance. To his advantage plays the fact that perhaps he represents the only alternative to Insigne as an attacking left winger. In the balance, for the defense, both Toloi (one of the latest arrivals in the blue group) and Ferrari, scoring on the debut, and Mancini. The only certain of the place seems to be the Roma central defender.
