The day before the Nations League, with the Azzurri playing against Belgium in Brussels on Thursday evening. Luciano Spalletti’s boys will only need one point to be sure of accessing the next phase of the competition and for this reason the coach could field the two best players of the moment from the first minute: Mateo Retegui and Moise Kean. The Atalanta player and the Viola center forward lead the Serie A top scorers with 11 and 8 goals, it hasn’t happened since the 2013/14 season that two Italians – Immobile and Toni – were not in the first two places in the rankings. A fact that certainly makes Spalletti happy first of all, who also underlined it in the press conference: “They showed what we hoped to see.
We are happy to see them up front, Kean is in beautiful condition. It has obvious qualities and some small critical points. We are very happy.”
