🏆👉   Italy defeated Albania in the International Friendly game on Wednesday 16 November 2022 at the Air Albanian Stadium in Tirana, Albania. The Azzurri made a comeback to claim this victory with Vincenzo Grifo’s brace and Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s goal. The good news is the debut with the national team of Fagioli, Pinamonti and Pafundi (born in 2006), the return of Federico Chiesa: everything is there in Italy’s 3-1 to Albania.   Albania took the lead with  Ismajli, defender of Empoli.   The only negative note is Sandro Tonali’s injury: the Milan midfielder went out on a stretcher after a very bad fall, he hit his shoulder, neck, and head hard, but, reportedly, he’s fine.

Italy and Albania have previously met on only three occasions, all of them in recent times. The first game was back in 2014 in a friendly in Genova that the Azzurri won 1-0, before two clashes in the 2018 World Cup qualification stage, with Italy winning both games in Palermo and Scutari (it was the 800th game for Italy at all levels).

In the dugout for Albania is Head Coach Edy Reja, the fourth Italian with the Albanian team in four meetings (two times with De Biasi, one Panucci).

Albania opened the score in the 16th minute. Ardian Ismajli defeated Italy goalkeeper Alex Meret with a headed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Nedim Bajrami.

Italy equalized for the 1-1 in the 20th minute. Giovanni Di Lorenzo defeated Albania goalkeeper Berisha from very close range with a right-footed shot to the top left corner. The assist is by Vincenzo Grifo.

Italy overturned the result. In the 25th minute, Vincenzo Grifo scored with a right-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Giacomo Raspadori.

Italy having a good time. In the 64th minute, a brace, the goal again by Vincenzo Grifo with a right-footed shot to the top right corner.

✅ Stats before the game: In total, there have been 17 games between Italy and an Italian Head Coach on the opposing side (Trappatoni four times, the only one to beat us, and Ghedin), with 14 wins for the Azzurri, two draws and a defeat. In Italy’s first-ever visit to Albania in 2017, they won 1-0 in Scutari, as the Air Albania Stadium was being re-constructed at the time; it will be the first time they will have played in Tirana.

👉 Lineup ALBANIA (3-4-2-1): Berisha; Ismajli, Kumbulla, Mihaj; Hysaj, Abrashi, Bare, Lenjani; Bajrami, Uzuni; Broja.

👉🇮🇹  Lineup ITALIA (3-4-3): Meret; Scalvini, Bonucci, Bastoni; Di Lorenzo, Tonali, Verratti, Dimarco; Zaniolo, Raspadori, Grifo.

Post Match Reaction: “They were then the better team,” Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini after losing the Finalissima against Argentina

Italy lost their fourth consecutive game against Argentina.  Sadly, Italy failed to win the FINALISSIMA beaten by Argentina with a 3-0 in Wembley on Wednesday 1 June 2022 thanks to the goals by Lautaro  Martínez, Angel Di Maria, and Paulo Dybala.

   Finalissima: Result ITALY 0 – 3 ARGENTINA, Wednesday 1 June 2022

Congratulations to  🇦🇷 Serie A players with Argentina for winning the FINALISSIMA: Juan Musso (Atalanta), Nahuel Molina (Udinese), Nehuén Pérez (Udinese), Nicolás González (Fiorentina), Paulo Dybala (Juventus), Joaquín Correa (Inter), and Lautaro Martínez (Inter).

Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini mentioned post-match: “We made two errors in the first half; the game was balanced though. They were then the better team. We should’ve scored to get back in the game but we didn’t do nearly enough in the second half.”

“We’ll now make a lot of changes,” he continued. “It will be hard to immediately start up a cycle like the last one. We’ll need to work really hard. I think that we will let a few of the lads leave the camp because they need the rest. Since the Euros, we’ve struggled to score and we need to resolve this and try to play at a quicker tempo. However, it won’t be easy to put together a winning squad on such short notice, even if we have some great players. We’ll need to make fewer mistakes and there will be tough times ahead. We lost to a great Argentina side tonight, sure, but we need to realize that these things will happen and we need to blood the youth quickly.”

After receiving an award from Gravina before the game, Giorgio Chiellini today played his final match for his country, bowing out on 117 appearances, level with Daniele De Rossi in the all-time standings. The Azzurri captain made his final appearance in the same stadium where he won the biggest prize of his career: “We knew it would be difficult. Obviously, we hoped to win this trophy but that doesn’t cancel out what we’ve done previously. I expect there to be tough times ahead. We need to go again and I hope that the whole of Italy supports this group, who have a lot to do.”

Giacomo Raspadori started as part of the attacking trio with Belotti and Bernardeschi and tested Argentina ‘keeper Martínez in the first half, but then found chances hard to come by. “It’s a tough one to take,” the Sassuolo forward said. “We started well but then went two goals down. Their quality caused us problems and they managed to dictate the game. We should have done better though. We now need to pick ourselves up, try to put in some good performances and pick up points in the Nations League.”

Giovanni Di Lorenzo was absent in Palermo for the defeat to North Macedonia but was back in the Azzurri blue tonight, albeit for a rather tough game for the entire Italy defence. “They have some brilliant players, especially in attack. It’s a shame that we lost but we knew that it was never going to be easy.” Yesterday in his press conference, Mancini spoke about it being the end of an era: “It will depend on the gaffer as the whether he wants to switch it up. We had two intense years, in which we achieved something incredible. We have some talented youngsters. We now have four more games coming up and we need to play as well as possible. We need to go again, all together.”
