Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini with a big slap ending the UEFA Nations League Matchday 4 with a terrible defeat: Germany 5 – 2 Italy on Tuesday 14 June 2022. Clearly, the rebuilding of the national team proved to be an uphill mission.
After Matchday 4, Italy went down from the 1st to the 3rd position remaining with 5 points. Hungary took over the 1st position with 8 points and Germany the 2nd position with 7 points.

Mancini drew level with Arrigo Sacchi on 53 games in charge of the Azzurri. “We gave them too much in the first half and let them play. It’s a shame to end like that; we made some errors and defended poorly. You can then leave yourself too open to the counter as you try to get yourself back into the game and against players like this, you risk a lot.”
As promised, Giorgio Scalvini, Luiz Felipe and Gianluca Caprari were handed debuts tonight, taking the number of debutants in the Mancini era to 50, twelve of whom have made their first appearances in the last two weeks. “This week doesn’t diminish anything; it’s a process in which we’ll do some good things and some bad things. This is a good group and we’ll play two more games in September. They were better than us today and deserved to win.”
Gianluigi Donnarumma stepped up as a real captain. The Azzurri shot-stopper alternated good saves with a poor error for Werner’s second goal: “We’re angry, there can be no excuses. We need to take it on the chin, go again and show that this isn’t us. We lacked everything tonight, maybe due to a bit of fatigue. It’s a shame for the fans; it’s not good. We all made mistakes tonight but you learn from mistakes.”
Among the very few positives tonight was a first international goal for Willy Gnonto, who became Italy’s youngest-ever goalscorer tonight at just 18 years, seven months and nine days. He beat the record set by Bruno Nicolé, who scored a brace on his debut against France before retiring young at the age of just 27 years following a career, in which he didn’t hit the heights expected of him. The hope is that Gnonto has more fortune: “My goal wasn’t important,” the Zurich forward said. “After a defeat like that, it doesn’t matter whether it was me that scored or a teammate. It was a tough game. They showed that they are a superior team to us. It was a different game than the reverse fixture; they moved the ball around and ran for a lot without achieving much. We have a lot to work on.”
Eight months after making his Serie A debut, Giorgio Scalcini tonight won his first international cap another big step for the young Atalanta starlet: “I had imagined my debut being different but I will always remember this day. The boss spoke to me about possibly making my first appearance and I tried to keep my calm and just make sure I was ready.” Mancini sent him on in place of Frattesi and he looked good in midfield. “I am more of a centre-back, in a back three for Atalanta, but I am also fine playing in midfield” he confessed, also announcing that he will join Gnonto in going to the U19 EURO finals in Slovakia on Thursday.
Nicolò Barella also recognised that Germany were the better team: “Apologies to the fans who were there in the stadium. We played well in the first game but we were made to pay by a strong team tonight. As Mancini said, throughout this process, it will be the case that there are highs and lows.”

Stats before the game: Italy have drawn all of their last three games against Germany; only against England (open streak) and Poland (1975-1982) did Italhy draw four games in a row. Excluding friendlies, Italy has never lost against Germany (4W, 6N): the German national team is the one against which the Azzurri have played the most games without ever suffering a defeat (10) – excluding East Germany. Germany and Italy have met 12 times in the home of the Germans – not considering East Germany (neutral matches are excluded); the balance sheet is in perfect balance with four wins on each side and four draws. After having achieved five successes in a row, the most recent being in Germany in July 2021 against Belgium, the Azzurri have won only one of the last seven games played outside Italy (5D, 1L). Italy have drawn two of their last three games (1W), as many draws as those in the previous eight games (3W, 3P).
