What news is Zaniolo’s return to scoring for you? It’s one of the questions asked Luciano Spallettitechnical commissioner of Nationalduring the long interview given to ‘Sky Sport’. This is his response: “There are other things to take into consideration besides the goal for a boy. That comes from a detail, from a particular, from luck, it’s what one shows in its totality, in his behavior with his teammates , with the opponents, with the referee, the relationship he has with the team has great potential, I brought him up to the last call-ups, he can play as a winger, play in the central area, he has this physicality that can receive the ball. with your back to the door and that of physical appearance is one fundamental quality to play on the European field. We suffered this strength against France.”
And on Zaniolo’s new role, Spalletti added: “Yes, it’s good news because we made the choice to stay a lot inside the pitch and leave the lanes to these ‘all-rounders’. The ‘under strikers’ must know how to stay inside the pitch, we have lost sight of important players like Orsolini, Politano, Chiesa. The latter is always monitored if he will play, he showed us his qualities. The solution we have looked for for this national team are those players who can fit in those roles.”
