L’Italy mathematically passed the group stage of the Europeans with one day to spare. The Azzurri will only have to know if they will enter the next round from first or second in the standings: everything will depend on the direct clash on the last day against Wales. To contribute to the extraordinary success of the national team Roberto Mancini, he thought about it Ciro Immobile who scored 2 goals in the first 2 European matches. The Lazio forward is the top scorer of the tournament at the moment, with the same number of goals as Locatelli, Cristiano Ronaldo and Schick.
A great satisfaction for the striker from Torre Annunziata who closed his championship in biancoceleste with more lows than highs. It has always been thought that the role of the center forward was one of the main problems of this Italy, but in the meantime Immobile continues to score without Mancini having to resort to the use of Belotti a race in progress. The goal against Turkey and then the one against Switzerland, in his ‘Olimpico’ once again have the spotlight on the Immobile that has already become the driver of this national team. At the end of the game, however, the blue striker wanted to take a moment and as a true team leader, he dedicated this goal to Daniel and David, the two brothers killed in Ardea a few days ago.
The special dedication of Immobile at the end of the game
At the end of the match against Switzerland, Ciro Immobile spoke during an interview with Rai. The Lazio striker wanted to reserve a thought for the little ones Daniel and David, the two children who died in Ardea a few days ago. “I wanted in my name and that of the whole team to dedicate today’s victory and goal to Daniel and David – said Immobile to the microphones of Rai – The two angels who are no longer with us. We are still talking about things that must not happen. It is our duty to send them a hug wherever they are. We also wanted to attend the funeral but due to the ‘bubble’ we couldn’t. We gather around this devastating mourning and what we could do on the pitch we did. It is a must “.
I issue of Ciro Immobile with Mancini’s Italy
Ciro Immobile took part in 13 goals in his last 11 appearances as a starter with Mancini’s national team. For the Lazio striker they have arrived 8 goals and 5 assists. In the face of those who thought that the Azzurri coach did not consider the player functional to his game. In that 4-3-3, in fact, Immobile proved to be in a wonderful position. To play not only as a first striker, but also as a striker on the bank, as a link and capable of guaranteeing depth to himself and to teammates who manage to follow him perfectly and vice versa.
A player who is proving to be very useful to Mancini and who has been able to humbly listen to the coach’s advice and tips to try to be as functional as possible to his form. In the last season Immobile has made it anyway 25 goals and 8 assists between the league and cups in Simone Inzaghi’s Lazio. On the other hand, Immobile’s debut in the national team came on March 5, 2014, in the Madrid friendly 1-0 defeat against Spain. So far, the striker has 47 appearances and 14 goals in blue. A performance that certainly can only make the Azzurri, Italy and certainly Roberto Mancini happy, who has never stopped believing in this forward.
