Federico Dimarco was the best on the pitch last night at the Olimpico in Rome in the match between Italy and Belgium which ended 2-2. Both of the Italian goals were born from his feet, although it was above all the opening of space for Cambiaso on the occasion of the goal scored by Retegui that caught the eye. “The opening on the second goal is worthy of the best Calhanoglu. He has a unique ability in the fifth-on-fifth game: Cambiaso thanks”, TMW’s opinion.
This is the comment from the ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’: “For half an hour he takes Doku for a walk: breakaway and assist for the 1-0, scary opening for the 2-0. As long as he has it, he’s almost perfect even in the defensive phase.” “Right ball in the direction of Cambiaso after a minute and Italy in the lead. Terrible ball, always from fifth to fifth, and the second goal arrives. Fly until you drop”, adds the ‘Corriere dello Sport’.
Thus the ‘Corriere della Sera’: “Devastating with the cross that gave rise to the 1-0 and the opening that inspired the 2-0: Pirlo-style”. “If Cambiaso is the stone, he is the slingshot – writes ‘La Repubblica’. Two marvels to open the field and the defense of Belgium. Let others not be offended: the best Italian footballer.
