Football, Antognoni: “Steps forward from the national team”

“In these two Nations League matches I think we have seen some good things, some steps forward have been made. There is a lot of work to be done but I would say that we are moving in the right direction.” Giancarlo Antognoni says this to Adnkronos in the aftermath of the Azzurri’s 2-1 victory over Hungary in the second Nations League match. “In these matches we are seeing an experimental team with many young people, as it is right that it is at the end of the season with such close commitments – continues the 1982 world champion -. When the qualifying matches for the European Championship begin we will see a mix between young and old. young and from there the group that will have to defend the continental title will be born “. Finally Antognoni identifies the players who convinced him the most. “Raspadori is good, he seems to me a guy on whom we can safely rely in the future. Gnonto is still too young to judge but he has potential. In midfield, Barella and Pellegrini confirmed that they are international level players. In between. we are in good shape in the field, it is the department that gives the greatest guarantees “.
