He returned to wear the national team jersey after the disqualification Francis Tonali. The midfielder conducted Luciano Spalletti’s orchestra in the middle of the pitch in the victory against France. “Back with desire, with pressing and bursts of a rediscovered leader – writes the Gazzetta dello Sport -. The back heel for Dimarco’s goal is brilliant – that axis promises well – and he has it until the end”. “He returns after a year and embellishes the evening – comments Tuttosport – with the back heel that inspires Dimarco’s great goal”.
“Disoriented, just at the beginning, 363 days after the last Azzurri – reports the Corriere dello Sport -. He sees Retegui out of the corner of his eye, invents a duet that should be exhibited in the Louvre for Dimarco, at 85′ he’s there sweating and puffing. Moving”. This is what TMW instead underlines: “He was missed and not a little at the last European Championship. He has an international pace, he has the charisma that is needed on these big stages. He starts a bit quietly, but then he gets used to the rhythm of the match and at that point he is everywhere: delicious assist for Dimarco on the occasion of the equaliser. In the second half he dominates with the ball at his feet”.
