Italy-Portugal, Mancini’s words of praise for Juve and Chelsea target
Italy head coach Roberto Mancini had some kind words, however, for Juventus and Chelsea target Federico Chiesa, who played from the start for the Azzurri this evening: ‘I liked him, in the first half he was good at boosting our superiority.’
Mancini also defined the draw with Portugal as “a step forward tonight from Poland, but the difference between us and Portugal is the defeat in Lisbon,” the coach said, “but I would do everything I did, maybe we could have changed the game on some more occasions, but that's okay.”
