Mancini's two-faced Italy has the not exactly cheerful gaze of the new mascot called Oscar and has the same effect as a beautiful woman who, seen from behind, invites you to lengthen your pace and when you pass her to look at her better you feel like running away . We warned you: Italian football with three teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was not cured. The blowout with the British serves to wake up those who were still dreaming. In the initial formation against England there were only three players (Acerbi, Barella and Di Lorenzo) who later became five (Tonali and Politano) of the teams who are dreaming of the Champions League. To get to the goal, Mancini had to invent Mateo Retegui who comes from Argentina and only knew well Adani, the South American guru. A successful bet, but not enough. It's not Banchero, the native who could project our basketball into new planets, but guys like him are welcome.
