Giovanni Di Lorenzo was best on the pitch in Italy-Israel, a match in which he was a great protagonist with two goals scored. “He’s finally out of the tunnel. After a wretched season, he finds a smile again, defensive attention and even goals: he hadn’t scored for the national team for almost two years, tonight he scored two”, the comment of ‘TuttoMercatoWeb.com’.
This is the opinion of ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’:“He hadn’t scored in blue for almost two years: he scored two, which ‘marked’ the match. Even a golden throw to Retegui and Gloukh left crumbs.” “Decorated with the ranks, he launches Retegui, then Dimarco, makes very few mistakes both in the coverage and setting phases. He gives himself the first national double to finally seal a top night for Italy after so many disappointments”, adds the ‘Corriere dello Sport’.
Thus the ‘Corriere della Sera’ on newsstands this morning: “He celebrated his first as captain with a header from the small area and then with the
tense and placed shot for the 4-1: first Italian double, in an evening that makes him forget the last difficult months in the national team. Welcome back.” The newspaper ‘La Repubblica’ analyzes his performance like this: “As a child they called him Bati, an Italian double is enough to understand why. Do you remember the European Championship disasters? Copernican revolution.
