Two forced grafts for the Azzurri, struggling with several injuries

The Azzurri’s training camp in Coverciano so far, ahead of the crucial Euro 2020 qualifying double commitment (Friday against North Macedonia at home, Monday against Ukraine in the neutral of Leverkusen), cannot be called lucky. The last two defections for coach Luciano Spalletti are the one already known since yesterday of Alessandro Bastoni and the one, communicated instead Thursday morning, of Giglielmo Vicario, forced not to train due to fever.

As for the defense, the coach responded to the emergency by calling Gianluca Mancini from Roma. For the role of vice-Donnarumma, on the other hand, è Marco Carnesecchi was chosen, summoned as a precautionary measure should Vicario’s feverish symptoms not subside in time.

The next two matches will be very important to avoid another flop after the failure to qualify for Qatar 2022, a failure that would be even more resounding given the amount of teams qualified for the final phase of the European Championships (as many as 24, compared to the 13 European selections at the World Cup) and, above all, because the defending champion selection would not go to defend the title.

To get through the round Italy will have to win both matches, otherwise it will be forced into a series of lengthy calculations in which, among other things, the Nations League discourse, which awards bonus spots through playoffs among the best-placed teams in the 2022/23 edition that did not qualify for Euro 2024 through the group elimination stage, could come into play.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
