Those three goals scored in the first three games gave a very clear indication, the performance in the national team drew the line: Mateo Retegui he is ready to recover Atalanta and drag the Nerazzurri attack without Gianluca Scamacca. With the former Sassuolo and West Ham striker out of action for the next few months, the Italian-Argentine has already settled into Gasperini’s mechanisms, also familiarizing himself with Luciano Spalletti’s footballing credo.
Top-level performance
Solid performance with the usual sacrifice, despite the few balls played in the first half Retegui handled the situation like a book: pressing even if isolated, just to scare the French ball possession forcing the home team into a mistake. Then the assist for Frattesi’s goal, a nice exclamation point in the first of the two matches with the Italian national team. And a nice collective response after a European Championship played by everyone below par.
Fiorentina and Arsenal in the crosshairs
After Israel – the last match of the current break – Retegui will have two games to immediately find the goal after the empty passage at San Siro: with Fiorentina the home debut at the Gewiss Stadium, four days later there will be the debut in the Champions League against Arsenal, another fundamental step in an already positive start to the season. And the objective is only one, to provide continuity through goals.
