Great prospects are in for the future of NT.
Now we just need a new Buffon,Toldo,Peruzzi,Zoff,Zenga to be discovered!
Rugani&Romagnoli both 20 both awesome cbs.

and up front with Berardi and Bernardeschi.... I just wish Conte would call these guys up already and give them experience in these qualifiers... not like we have much talent taking up their roles anyway.

Zaza and Immobile

Even Slovenia would be ashamed to call up players of such "caliber" for their attack.

Conte said that if you don't play you won't be called up... when has Zaza played???

 

[Bianconero81]

The fact that he is even in consideration, along with the likes of Pelle and Zaza is baffling enough. Gone are the days of quality strikers like Vieri, Totti, Del Piero, Chiesa, Zola, Baggio, Mancini, and Vialli.

Ya but it isn't help when our good players ruin themself, Balotelli with his attitude, Rossi and El Sha with their injuries .

 

[ClaudiOHHH]

The away kit is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

I cannot look at these for 2 years.

Berardi. Perhaps Bernardeschi and Belotti.

Conte is hypocrite we all know that, its not a surprise he called Zaza and Immobile up after what he preaches.

 

[Trequartista]

Pirlo still getting called

 

[Bjerknes]

I think it's pretty clear that apart from a few talents like Berardi and Verratti, Italy really doesn't have much going for them now. I would imagine a front line of Vazquez, Pelle and Eder would be a nightmare for experienced, Italian Azzurri fans.

He called up the Pirlo who can't hack it in MLS?

 

[lgorTudor]

If only Dybala chose Italy

 

[da_ledgeaun]

This is gonna be a tough qualification and even tougher Euro for Italy, we need Conte to fully utilize the best young players available at all times, Berardi / Bernadeschi, Verratti all should start.

if its gonna be his beloved 3-5-2, there will be a bit of a problem for 1 of the wing back post and the lack of great CF

Barza - Bon - Chie
Giacherini/Florenzi - Verrati - Marchi - DDR/Bertolacci/Sturaro - Darmian
Berardi - Zaza

I like it

Berardi. Perhaps Bernardeschi and Belotti.

Berardi ok, but the other two, one has just starting his senior footie career, 2 games into it basically, and the 2nd wasnt good enough for Palermo, and he is suggested for NT. This in itself shows the extreme lack of options.

 

[ClaudiOHHH]

The fact that Berardi isn't already called up is ridiculous on Conte's end.

We have NO strikers and I really don't want to see Vasquez (who I like), Pelle, and Eder; this is a nightmare per the above.

I would really have liked Conte to get more creative with today's formation vs Malta.

I don't have a good feeling.

 

[Cheesio]

Berardi is injured !!

 

[lgorTudor]

Is Malta stronger or weaker than Pirlo's MLS opponents?

 

[fredrik]

Lol at the starting 11 for italy. Worst i have ever seen, from 1990 to today. The forwards are incredibly poor, it must be 100 international squads with better front lines

Wonder how managing italy is in resturant terms? Going to a 1000$ resturant with 0$, and owing 10m to the mafia?
