The Zurich 18-year-old debuts with an assist for Pellegrini and so much hunger: 1-1 with Germany in the first Nations League match
Italy Head Coach Roberto Mancini, commented after the UEFA Nations League 1-1 draw with Germany on Saturday 4 June 2022, “We struggled at the start, but my boys did well and looked on a level with a top Germany side. We have good players and I just get them playing, we hope that they can develop quickly. The road is long.”
Among the six debutants tonight was Wilfried Gnonto, who set up Pellegrini to score just three minutes after coming on. Mancini commented, “He’s so quick, and can do everything. He’s a forward with a quality that we didn’t have before and he will improve a lot.”
Gnonto commented: “It was emotional to make my debut. The coach gave me the chance and I think I took it well.”
Gnonto’s story is a fairytale as he was fast-tracked from the youth teams to Mancini’s training camp at the end of May. “I owe a lot to my parents, who have helped me a lot, especially in the choice to move from Inter to Zurich to get more gametime. At this age, you need to play and I took a big risk. I was at Inter, at home, but at a certain point, you need to make a tough decision.” After revealing that he didn’t manage to get a photo with Messi on Wednesday – “I stood outside the dressing room but nothing” – he described the goal: “I knew that Kehrer was already booked and that’s all I could think about when I got the ball. I decided to take him and that ball in is tough for the defender and goalkeeper. If you’re a forward, you need to make the difference and I did that today.”
On the end of the young man’s assist was forward Lorenzo Pellegrini, who scored his fourth goal for Italy and his third in the Nations League. For the captain of Roma, who last week in Tirana raised the Conference League trophy, it was a magic moment: “It went well; we knew it was going to be a difficult game, especially after all the comments that have been said in recent days. We had to find a group of men rather than just players. We have seen a team performance against an extremely strong nation like Germany. Italy need to re-start with youth, we have many young players who are willing and giving their all for the team.”
All he asked for was a goal and he nearly had it, but Gianluca Scamacca’s performance opening up the German defence showed he has what it takes to play the lone striker. His first international goal will only be a matter of time: “I missed a few chances this evening; I hope they will arrive in the next game. I am living a dream, I want to grow and get as high up as possible. Here in Italy, we have many young, quality players with talent who need time and opportunity. Mancini was brave and right to play them.”
Italy with the “rebuilding phase” starts the UEFA Nations League game with a draw against Germany on Saturday 4 June 2022 at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. This is a motivating 1 point to boost the morale of the team after losing the Finalissima against Argentina on June 1. Coach Roberto Mancini reached the milestone of 50 matches as Italy head coach and made a dream come true for 6 players allowing their debut with the Italian team.
After Matchday 1, Italy stand third place with 1 point same as Germany. Hungary lead in the 1st position with 3 points and England in the last position without points.

Italy have not faced Germany since 15 November 2016, in a friendly match that ended 0-0 under Giampiero Ventura. Italy have not won against the Germans since the 2012 European Championship (2-1 with a brace from Mario Balotelli); three draws (including a 1-1 draw against Germany in the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship, which then saw the Azzurri lose on penalties) and one defeat since then. After the 0-0 in November 2016, Italy could run out of goals for two consecutive matches against Germany for the first time since 1996 (0-2 and 0-0 under Arrigo Sacchi’s management).
Italy opened the score in the 70th minute. It is Lorenzo Pellegrini to defeat Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from very close range with a right-footed shot to the high center. The assist is by Degnand Wilfried Gnonto.

Stats: Italy are unbeaten in five games played in Bologna (3W, 2N) – the last defeat dates back to 14 October 1989, against Brazil in a friendly match (0-1) – that was one of only two occasions (out of 22) in which the Azzurri did not find the goal in this city (the other in 1927, always 0-1 against Austria).
