The former Count exalts Italy: “He can win” – Sport

After the three victories and the record with full points in the Euro 2020 group, the national team coach Roberto Mancini has granted a free day for all the blues, at the Parco dei Principi hotel in Rome. Among those who decided to spend it in the family with his wife and children like Ciro Immobile and who with parents like Matteo Pessina, then joined by his girlfriend Alessandra. All guests, the FIGC is keen to inform, have undergone anti-Covid screening before entering the bubble hotel. To make the news, however, it is above all Gianluigi Donnarumma, who took the opportunity to carry out the preparatory medical examinations for his passage to the PSG at the Sant’Andrea hospital in Rome. Some members of the blue staff led by the former Romanist Daniele De Rossi, instead, they immersed themselves in the greenery of Villa Borghese for a training run. The blue break will last until the early afternoon, then at 17.30 new departure for Coverciano from where the National team will fly to London in the next few days for the round of 16.
A well-deserved rest, in short, after the exciting qualifying round ended with full points, with seven goals scored and the goal still clean. Among the many “endorsements” towards coach Roberto Mancini and his team there is also that of his predecessor on the blue bench, Antonio Conte, who stopped in the quarter-finals at the 2016 European Championship, defeated only on penalties by Germany. “Roberto Mancini’s Italy can win the European football championships because certain results don’t come by chance.” The qualification for the second round of the Azzurri as first in the class and without any goal conceded is also enhanced by the former coach. «The judgment on Italy is certainly positive – assures Conte – he showed unity of intent and great desire, this bodes well, while among the other teams I don’t see any surprises, I also see Germany as the favorite and can go all the way. I have not seen great surprises ».
The victory over Wales on Sunday, the three victories with zero goals conceded in the group, the record equaled by Vittorio water well (30 consecutive useful results) for the former coach can not be the result of chance. «Italy has shown continuity and great merit in wanting to play and win the game – adds Conte – it is one of the candidates to go all the way. The thing I like most is that it conveys confidence, there is a great balance between offensive and defensive phases, this is the most important thing when you want to aim for important results. It is essential that he does not concede a goal. We have to wait for more challenging matches, but we must be confident because these results cannot be a coincidence ».
