There is one more Inter player among Luciano Spalletti’s call-ups, as he regularly trains at Appiano Gentile during the Italian national team’s camp. He is a very young talent from Inter’s Under-17 squad who previously impressed Simone Inzaghi and has now entered the radar of Italy’s national team coach.
According to calciomercato.com, this player is Matias Mancuso, born in 2007 and owned by Inter, who this season has featured between the Under-17 and Under-18 teams. The young midfielder has been temporarily loaned by the Nerazzurri to complete the roster of the Italian national team that, since yesterday, started preparations for the match against Germany at San Siro on Thursday, March 20th.
Who is Matias Mancuso, the playmaker who impressed Inzaghi
Matias Mancuso is a highly talented mezzala central midfielder already familiar with Inter’s first team context. Indeed, Inzaghi greatly appreciates him and has frequently utilized him in training as a central midfielder in a style similar to Mkhitaryan. Originally a trequartista attacking midfielder, the 2007-born talent was used by Luciano Spalletti in his first training session with the national team as a right winger due to necessity—a role he had never played in his career, having been born to Uruguayan parents.
While waiting for his official debut with Inter and dreaming of a formal call-up to Italy’s senior national team, Mancuso has already represented Italy with the Under-16 and Under-17 squads. This experience alongside numerous star players will undoubtedly help him grow quickly and become accustomed to the level of competition that he aims to regularly achieve in the future.
