Paolo Condò analyzed the performance of the Italian national team in the defeat against Belgium, focusing on the responsibilities of the more experienced players. According to what was reported by the Corriere della Sera, the journalist identified the technical leaders as those whose mistakes influenced the match.
The commentator especially pointed the finger at the big names of the Azzurri, while also highlighting Romano‘s misfortune in the episode of Belgium’s lead. “Poor Romano made the mistake that led to Belgium’s advantage, and he never recovered from the disappointment. But he certainly wasn’t the one who should have been expected to look such seasoned rivals in the eye: that was up to Barella, Tonali, Calafiori, people who play at the highest levels with their clubs, and who with the national team continue to postpone their big performance,” declared Condò.
The focus of the analysis then shifted to the players who play for top teams. For the journalist, in fact, it was up to elements like Barella, Tonali, and Calafiori to take on the responsibility of facing such experienced opponents. The criticism highlights how these players, accustomed to the highest levels with their respective clubs, still fail to fully express their potential with the Azzurri shirt.
