EM 2021: Turkey against Italy in the live ticker - Roberto Mancini lets Azzurri dream of a EURO victory
The Italians owe their newly gained self-confidence before the EURO opening game against Turkey this Friday in Rome (from 9 p.m., here in the livestream) to one man: Roberto Mancini. The now 56-year-old had coached Lazio Rome, Fiorentina, Zenit Saint Petersburg and Galatasaray Istanbul, was once English champion with Manchester City and three times Italian champion with Inter Milan. In 2018 he made it his mission to breathe new life into the insecure football nation.
“The title could be a rebirth for football and for the whole country.
The goal is to play the final at Wembley on July 11th, ”said Mancini before the kick-off at the Roman Olympic Stadium against the Turks.
The fact that the Azzurri believe in the European Championship victory is also related to their routine central defense: Giorgio Chiellini (37) and Leonardo Bonucci (34) from Juventus have been playing together for decades.
In the storm, Mancini has several accurate options with ex-BVB * star and Bundesliga * attacker Ciro Immobile from Lazio, Andrea Belotti from FC Turin and Federico Chiesa from Juve.
