The Under 21 coach, Paolo Nicolato, praised Moise Kean, emphasizing his football qualities. Nicolato declared: "It is enough for me that he does what he knows how to do, he has the characteristics to be decisive".
Nicolato clarified: “It will be useful if he has the right attitude and of the 29 players called up for the internship, only those who show they want to stay will remain. I have no reason to think Moise can't be one of them."
The complicated relationship between Moise Kean and the Under 21 national team
The relationship between Moise Kean and the Under 21 national team has never been easy. The player was subject to disciplinary measures both with Nicolato's Under 19 team and Di Biagio's Under 21 team. This complicated context influenced his participation in the forthcoming European Championship.
Despite Kean's absence, coach Nicolato can count on players of prominence such as Sandro Tonali and Gianmaria Scalvini.
He said about them: “I am very satisfied with the attitude of these guys, who wanted to be there. I made Tonali his Under 18 debut and he has always shown great availability and gratitude, and I have great respect for him. I hope that Scalvini will make a great contribution to everyone".
The opportunity for Pietro Pellegri and Nicolato's trust
Without Moise Kean, the striker of the grenade team Pietro Pellegri will have more space to show his qualities. Nicolato praised the player's qualities, speaking of his injury problems:
"Unfortunately he was penalized by injuries, but his qualities are indisputable."
The challenge of forming a cohesive team in a short time
Despite the absence of some key players, coach Nicolato does not seem concerned about their reinstatement in the squad. He recognizes the difficulties the team will face; many of the players haven't played together for a long time.
As players who have worked with him before, Nicolato is confident that a short period of retraining will be enough to build a team unity.
The priority is to form a solid team quickly and with little training.
Nicolato concluded: "This is our first goal, because if we can do it we will definitely become a good team."
