Italy seven beauties has a European dream

All easy with San Marino, tomorrow the list of twenty-six

SENT TO CAGLIARI. Experimental Italy like it. Have fun and enjoy yourself against a comfortable opponent. The result (7-0) counts for little with the last of the world rankings. A test that served Roberto Mancini to get a clearer idea of ​​the empty boxes to fill in the list of 26 that the coach should communicate tomorrow. Alessio Cragno hopes to be there but there are no certainties. The Cagliari goalkeeper was promoted to starter yesterday. Although for a friendly it can be an important clue. But there is the downside. It could also prove to be the “sop” to make him play the first starter in the stadium of “his” Cagliari, and then announce the exclusion in favor of Meret. The technical commissioner on this was hermetic, he did not let even a half word escape, leaving a decision pending that in any case will leave a bad taste in someone’s mouth.

The match. It is an Italy that starts slowly. It is difficult to verticalize against a closed, courageous, willing opponent who puts his soul to make a good impression. The difference is huge between the two teams (Sam Marino is a good Serie C squad) but in the first half hour he is not seen. Italy is in control of the game but it is a sterile supremacy. Mancini is generous with advice, he knows that many of these guys are playing together for the first time. The race is unlocked by Bernardeschi. More concrete when he is moved to the center and Kean wide to the right, he too is more at ease in that portion of the field, even if the opportunity that the coach grants him fails. The doubling is for Ferrari (debut with a goal for him). Small tricks of the coach that make the maneuver more fluid and unpredictable. Cristante is not entirely convincing in the role of director, perhaps playing for many months as a central defender in Rome, he has lost a little the habit of adapting the playing times.

Pinwheel. Several changes in the second half. The first is Mancini who removes Kean, completely out of the game and puts in Politano who scores the third goal after 4 ‘, thanks to a mess of Grandoni. Cragno’s match, who didn’t even make a save, lasted just over an hour. He is replaced by Meret. Mancini also removes Grifo for Belotti and Mancini for Di Lorenzo. And Belotti himself, who hasn’t scored on action for an eternity, hits the target after an exchange with Bernardeschi. Pessina also scores and immediately after Politano (double).

The Sardinians. Nicolò Barella (2 ‘walkway for him in the final) and Salvatore Sirigu sat on the bench. Spotlight on them, applauded by the many guests in the stands. The flag of the Quattro Mori will fly thanks to these two guys at the European Championships. For Barella it could be the event that consecrates him at a high level. This year the Inter midfielder was included in the top 11 of the championship, became Italian champion and made a great contribution to the Nerazzurri in winning the Scudetto. His dream is to win the European Championship and Mancini considers him a fundamental pawn. Sirigu, on the other hand, is in the final part of his career. For the Caletta goalkeeper, perhaps, it could be one of the latest events. He aims to be there also at the next World Cup but the competition is great. He has a monster like Donnarumma in front of him but he doesn’t give up an inch. As a good Sardinian he has a hard head. And if there is a chance he is sure he will be ready. On the sidelines also another Sardinian, Antonio Giua of the Olbia section, in the role of fourth official.

The emotions of the hymn. All those of the blue staff, from the players to the technicians, to the managers, sang it with feeling, with their hand on their heart. And a great motion was also perceived in the stands among the 500 “invited” by the FIGC. Varrella’s deputy, San Marino coach, is Daniele Arrigoni, former Cagliari coach in the early 2000s. Also for him a bit of emotion in returning to the city where he worked for a few seasons. Not in the stadium that was then in Sant’Elia, close to being demolished.

Italy greets. The senior national team returned to the island after sixteen years. It was very well received, so much so that the coach said he had found the ideal place to work. The hope is that less time will pass to see the Azzurri again in Sardinia. It will happen, especially if in the meantime the new Cagliari stadium is ready. The promise is that as soon as the stadium is ready, Italy will return to play an official match and not a friendly match.
