Berardi on the right, Scamacca in the centre, Chiesa on the left: it could be the trident with which Italy will challenge North Macedonia on Friday in Rome in a must-win match to bring qualification for Euro2024 closer and face the second and final match with less pressure 2023, in Leverkusen with Ukraine.
The second day of work in Coverciano saw the Azzurri divided into two groups and undergoing a double session. This morning those who had the most playing time on Sunday with their clubs took to the field (including Acerbi, Barella, Bonaventura, Raspadori); in the afternoon the others such as Scamacca, Chiesa, Berardi, El Shaarawy trained together with a team of Under 17 and 18 players from Fiorentina, joined by Lazzari and Biraghi, called up at the last minute to make up for the emergency in defence.
Relief for the coach: Cambiaso and Cristante seem to have recovered from their respective physical problems, the Juventus player suffered a blow to the ankle, the Roma player suffered a muscle strain. Kean did some work on the side. Tomorrow the program includes a full day of work behind closed doors and Spalletti will take advantage of this to intensify the technical/tactical exercises and begin to define the formation choices, which could include Donnarumma in goal, Darmian, Acerbi, Bastoni and Dimarco in defense , Barella, Jorginho (confirmed as director) and Bonaventura in midfield, Berardi, Scamacca and Chiesa up front.
On Thursday, after the finishing touches, the departure for Rome is scheduled where a delegation of players together with the federal president, Gabriele Gravina, the coach and the head of the delegation of the Azzurri, Gianluigi Buffon will visit the small patients of the ‘Bambino Gesù’ pediatric hospital . Again in conjunction with the match against Macedonia, the national team will be involved in the 27th edition of ‘A goal for research’, the campaign promoted by the Airc Foundation.
