Roberto Mancini May Save Belotti When Italy Fight Finland

Roberto Mancini, coach of the Italian national team, intends to make some changes when he faces the Finland national team from the 2020 European Championship Qualification. He does not want to take big risks because players are not fit, including Andrea Belotti.

"Some players are exhausted and I have to evaluate them. We are still at the start of the season and playing two games near a long journey is very trying," Roberto Mancini was quoted as saying by Italian football.

Preventive attitude is applied without exception. Including Andrea Belotti who scored twice when the Italian national team won 3-1 at home against the Armenian national team. "We will monitor the situation of Andrea Belotti, Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi," he said.

In addition to mentioning several players who could be saved, Roberto Mancini hinted to play Lorenzo Pellegrini from the start. When the Italian national team faced off with Armenia, the Roma player had only entered the 61st minute to replace Federico Chiesa.

"We will definitely make some changes since the match against Armenia, Pellegrini has the opportunity to play even if he operates more in the middle of the field, not on the front lines," said the former Manchester City manager.

Italian national team Roberto Mancini will face the Finnish national team in the continuation of qualification for the 2020 European Cup on Monday (9/9/2019), early morning. Gli Azzurri has always won the last eight meetings with Huuhkajat. In fact, on the last six occasions, they always keep a clean sheet.
