Bomber against Atalanta, Italian certainty: Italy relies on Mateo Retegui’s momentum

The real news is that he was left without a goal against Udinese. But beyond the statistics and the cold numbers, Mateo Retegui he immediately took to the Nerazzurri, with 11 goals scored in the space of 12 matches. The European seal is missing, but redemption has arrived in the UEFA Nations League: two goals in 4 games played, after a forgettable summer the Italian-Argentine has also become a point of reference for Luciano Spalletti, desperately looking for a finisher also able to tie the game.

Ransom
The positive signs were seen in the few appearances at Euro 2024, in Germany Retegui had not shone like the rest of the national team, but he had certainly shown all the necessary determination from which to start again. In his latest outings with the Azzurri he has shown that he also has a certain feeling with the Spallettian philosophy, different in modules and ways from that of Gasperini, but united by constant intensity. Signals, indeed, but above all trust.

Positive moment
Belgium and France, therefore, will be able to give further awareness to the Bergamo striker who will have to face other important tests upon his return, starting with Parma and Roma, two opponents to be defeated with goals. In the meantime, Mateo thinks about the national team and international goals: the only flaw in an almost perfect season concerns the lack of goals in the Champions League, but it doesn’t matter, the problem will be addressed after the break. Better to think about Red Devils and a race to be experienced. And to win.
