Mancini: “A great game, good signs ahead of the Euros.” Insigne: “This is a good group, we have fun on the pitch”

The Italy head coach is three games away from Vittorio Pozzo’s record unbeaten run. The Napoli forward celebrated his 30th birthday today and capped it off with a goal. Meanwhile, Raspadori made his Italy debut: “A crazy emotion to make my debut in front of my family”
Mancini: “A great game, good signs ahead of the Euros.” Insigne: “This is a good group, we have fun on the pitch”

Now, it’s 27. In the stadium, in which he made his Serie A debut, Roberto Mancini recorded his eight win on the bounce and extended Italy’s unbeaten run to 27. This brings him within three games of the record set by Vittorio Pozzo but, with one week until the Euros kick off, what counts most is having seen Italy shine. “The Czech Republic are a great team but we played really well,” said the Italy head coach, dedicating the win to his friend Enzo, who lost his parents to Covid. “It’s a good sign ahead of the start of the Euros. We’re a young team that needs to improve in many aspects. Playing like that in our last friendly is a good thing.”

Lorenzo Insigne couldn’t have celebrated his 30th birthday in a better way than that. The Napoli forward showed, once again, that he has plenty of class. He scored and provided an assist. “Whether I feel like a leader? No, I’m just older,” he confessed with a wry smile. “I’m happy with the performance. We have a week to go until the Euros and we need to be ready.” The Azzurri’s number 10 is full of confidence: “The Coach has formed a great group. He has got us all in the best condition to express ourselves and gave fun. Matchday 1 at the Olimpico? It’ll be really emotional to play in front of a crowd, even if it’s only 16,000 people.”

Domenico Berardi tonight scored his fourth Italy goal and is well in contention for a starting berth next week: “I always try to give my all. I’m happy because I played well, but I can always improve – both in training and in games. Whether it’s me starting against Turkey or Chiesa or Bernardeschi, it’s all the same. We’re all good players; whoever plays will give 100%.”

 

Giacomo Raspadori has had a whirlwind week, beginning with his first call-up to the Italy squad to the disappointment of defeat in the Under-21 Euro quarter-finals, right up to being named in the team for the Euros and making his full international debut in the city of his birth. “It’s a crazy emotion, I have no words. All of the moments of my short career flashed before me – the good moments and the bad. Making my debut with my family in the ground was indescribable.” Roberto Mancini showered him with praise at his press conference yesterday, wishing him the same satisfaction as a certain Paolo Rossi. “I still can’t believe I’m going to the Euros. I want to thank the Coach for this chance. I’m a different player to Immobile and Belotti. I’m lucky to have them as my teammates. I’ve always admired them and I hope to learn from them.”

63% Ball Possession ITALIA and 37% Ball Possession CZECH REPUBLIC

Italy 4 – 0 Czech Republic

23′ Ciro Immobile
42′ Nicolò Barella
66′ Lorenzo Insigne
73′ Domenico Berardi

Italy is preparing for the UEFA Euro 2020.  Mission accomplished, the objective is reached with Italy winning this International Friendly game against Czech Republic on Friday 4 June 2021 at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. The victory is a boost for the morale of the team winning for the first time 8 consecutive games in all competitions without conceding a goal. Way to go!!!! Italy’s wall is back!

Italy opening the score in the 23rd minute. Forward Ciro Immobile defeating Czech Republic goalkeeper Pavlenka with a right footed shot to the bottom left corner.

Italy increasing the score for the 2-0 in the 42nd minute. It is Nicolò Barella to score with a right footed shot to the bottom left

Italy just rocking at the Dall’Ara scoring for the 3-0 in the 66th minute with the goal by Lorenzo Insigne.

It’s a poker signed by Domenico Berardi for the 4-0 in the 73rd minute.

  • Italy’s record against the Czech Republic is in perfect balance: 2 wins on each side and 2 draws in 6 matches.  There are two challenges for Italy at home against the Czech Republic: a 2-2 draw in Palermo in 2004 with Trapattoni and a 2-1 success with Prandelli in 2013 in Turin.  Italy is unbeaten in 23 home games (13W, 10N): the Azzurri do not remain without defeat for several consecutive home games out of the 39 recorded between 1971 and 1980.  Roberto Mancini has won 22 games on the national team bench: with a success in this match he would equal Cesare Prandelli to 23 wins, but with 24 fewer games (56 v 32).  With the goal against San Marino, Andrea Belotti became the first Italy player to have taken part in 10 goals in the Mancini management: eight goals and two assists for him.  The only player of the current squad of Italy to have found the goal against the Czech Republic is Giorgio Chiellini – the Juventus defender has scored with the Azzurri under five different coaches and is still dry with Roberto Mancini: in the history of the national team only Adolfo Baloncieri (between 1920 and 1930) found the net with six coaches different.

🇮🇹 👉 Lineup Italia (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Florenzi, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola; Barella, Jorginho, Locatelli; Berardi, Immobile, Insigne.

👉 Lineup Czech Republic (4-1-4-1): Pavlenka; Coufal, Brabec, Celutska, Boril; Kral; Masopust, Darida, Barak, Jankto; Krmencik.
