Call it ‘Italinter’. This is how Corriere della Sera invites us to define the national team Luciano Spalletti, dragged into the comeback success against Albania by the performances of the representatives of the Nerazzurri club, Nicolò Barella above all: “In this European debut that began with a stomach ache and ended by celebrating the first three fundamental points, well deserved, he shows the exact same mental strength as the Nerazzurri team, even when he goes under, especially when he goes under, in the red delirium of the Westfalenstiadion, at least three quarters of Albanian. Anger, conviction, strong nerves, self-esteem, physical and technical strength: on this first night in Germany, Italy displays the qualities that have allowed Simone Inzaghi’s team to pin the second star of the Scudetto to their chest. number twenty, dominating the championship far and wide”.
It is ‘Italinter’ in spirit, but also in men: because Alessandro Bastoni regains the equalizer, Nicolò Barella places the overtaking and Davide Frattesi, at the end of the first half, alone in front of the goalkeeper, hits the post which would have immediately closed the score. “In the stands, the new president Beppe Marotta smiles and applauds: there is also his hand in this first Italian victory, as in the Scudetto. Skill and experience: a champion.”
