The head coach of the Italians commented on the personnel policy and ambitions of the team.

Roberto Mancini said that he appreciates the forward, but expects him to play at a higher level, and also believes that the Italian team can win the coming tournaments.

“In terms of the qualities he had and has, Mario is one of the best hitters, but that’s not enough. This year he showed himself poorly in Brescia, and he knows it.

I am very pleased with the team, even if we did not see each other for a while. We will try to succeed and strive to win the League of Nations and the European Championship "

Earlier, the head coach of the Italian team expressed confidence that his team could win the European Championship in 2021.
