“The 10 on your shoulders is not a burden, but a stimulus.” Lorenzo Pellegrini was among the best on the pitch against Albania, as highlighted by today’s edition of Corriere della Sera: “The ball for Bastoni, kicked first, is perfect. Try an encore with Scamacca. Quality and stage presence”, we read in the judgement. Of the same opinion TMW: “The complicated start of the match is swept away by one of his strokes for Bastoni who only has to head it into the net. As a 10, he is free to roam the centre-left like a true attacking midfielder: he is at ease.”
A more than sufficient performance also for Corriere dello Sport: “He tries to put things back on par after two minutes in precarious balance. The velvety cross for Bastoni is a master stroke, he gets himself booked to stop Broja”. Sufficient opinion for Tuttosport: “Among the least clean in his play, he twists badly a couple of times in the area. However, he has the merit of the cross that Bastoni sends into the net for the sudden equalizer, he chases away ghosts. He concentrates a lot to leave space for Dimarco” .
