Gemilang Performance Mateo Retegui Reveals Disturbing Facts On The Body Of The Italian National Team

JAKARTA - The naturalized player belonging to the Italian national team, Mateo Retegui, has again had a positive impact on his team. He scored again for Gli Azzurri in the Euro 2024 qualifying event.

After previously breaking into England's goal, Retegui then broke into Malta's goal, Monday, March 27 in the morning WIB. He helped the Italian national team win 2-0 over Malta in the second match of qualifying Euro 2024 Group C.

The Retegui instant impact has made the coach of the Italian national team, Roberto Mancini, considers giving more slots to naturalized players.

This, according to Mancini, is because the stock of the Italian original players he owns. In Serie A, the percentage of Italian players is relatively small.

"That's possible. We have a small percentage (of Italian native players) in Serie A. In Switzerland, 15 out of 20 are natives," said Mancini.

"Belgium is the same. France, Germany, England are among them. Until a few years ago, we had a strong player and didn't have to do it (provide space for non-Italy players)."

"Other teams have done something to us. Often they take the players we raised, and we will do the same thing now," he said again.

Mancini then praised Retegui. The 23-year-old player is considered to have the quality of being the center forward.

The coach said that Retegui still needed time. However, the contribution of goals and quality owned by Boca Juniors players is the most important thing now.

"Now we have to wait, we have to give him time. He's like a student at a new school. He has to learn everything," said Mancini.
