Azzurri Manager Experiments With Inter Milan Megastar In New Role Ahead Of Belgium Vs Italy Nations League Clash
Cesare Prandelli Calls Up Young Trio
Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has named uncapped Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella in his squad for the upcoming Nations League games against Belgium and Poland. The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Inter this season, and his inclusion in the squad is a sign of Prandelli’s faith in youth. Prandelli has also called up uncapped Cagliari defender Luca Pellegrini and uncapped Sassuolo midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini.Zinedine Zidane has a big decision to make ahead of Real Madrid's Champions League clash with Manchester City. The Frenchman has been using Karim Benzema as a false nine in recent weeks, but he could switch to a more traditional front two for the game at the Etihad Stadium. Gareth Bale is pushing for a start after scoring twice in Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Leganes on Saturday, but Zidane may be reluctant to drop Benzema, who has been in good form in recent weeks.
It is a big call for Zidane, and it could have a major impact on the outcome of the game. If he plays Benzema as a false nine, Real Madrid will have more possession and control of the game. However, if he plays Bale up front, Real Madrid will have more pace and directness in attack.
Zidane will also have to decide whether to start Isco or Marco Asensio on the wing. Isco has been in good form in recent weeks, but Asensio is a more natural winger and offers more pace and width.
Zidane's decision will be based on a number of factors, including the fitness of his players, the form of the opposition, and his own tactical preferences. Whatever team he selects, Real Madrid will be confident of getting a result against Manchester City.
Prandelli Hints At New Role For Barella
Prandelli has hinted that Barella could play in a new role for Italy in the upcoming Nations League games. The midfielder has been playing as a central midfielder for Inter this season, but Prandelli has suggested that he could use him in a more advanced role for Italy.“Barella is a very versatile player,” Prandelli said. “He can play in a number of different positions, and I think he could be very effective for us in a more advanced role.”
If Prandelli does decide to use Barella in a more advanced role, it would be a departure from the way he has used him at Inter. However, Barella has the ability to play in a number of different positions, and he could be a valuable asset to Italy in the Nations League games.
Barella Excited To Play For Italy
Barella has expressed his excitement at being called up to the Italy squad. The midfielder said that it is a “dream come true” to represent his country.“I am very happy to be here,” Barella said. “It is a dream come true to play for Italy. I will give my all to help the team win.”
Barella is one of a number of young players who have been called up to the Italy squad for the Nations League games. The midfielder is confident that the young players can help Italy achieve success in the tournament.
“We have a young team, but we are very talented,” Barella said. “We are all very excited to play for Italy, and we are all determined to help the team win.”
