Italy Coach Mancini Calls for Calm Amidst Youth Development
Roberto Mancini is urging calm, aiming to diffuse the tension surrounding the Italian national team ahead of the Turkey match. "We must stay calm, without the agitation I see around," the coach told Sky. He noted that football hinges on moments, and while Belgium deserved their win, the game could have shifted in the second half. Mancini believes young players need time, highlighting Romano's good performance despite a mistake common to anyone. Against Turkey, Mancini sees an opportunity to make changes and rotate players due to the demanding schedule. He anticipates a tough game against a strong Turkish side filled with talent. Mancini downplayed pressure following the Belgium loss, stating, "It's just a football match." He added to RaiSport, "Tomorrow we will try to play well and win." He recalled that even during their European Championship victory, Italy wasn't considered among the top contenders. "We just need to work and give the young players some time," he concluded, pointing out that club opportunities for this level of play are limited, requiring the national team to provide that development time.
