Italy before the game against Germany: A nation is looking for a striker again

Italy has been waiting for a global claddinger since Mario Balotelli’s muscle show in the 2012 European Championship semi-final against Germany. The fact that it has to do without Mateo Retegui in the Nations League quarter-finals, the best offensive in the country, fits historical suffering.

Actually, on Thursday evening, the question had been hoped for the question that the football nation Italy has been busy for so many years. In the forefront of the Nation’s League quarter-finals there was finally no debate, the situation was clear: the best and the second best striker of series A, you should score the goals for the Italian national team, it sounded so pleasantly simple. And so calming for a national team that has been longing for the simplicity in the storm for years. Whose hopes were disappointed again.
