Gennaro Gattuso, Italy’s head coach, explained at a press conference why he did not call up Nicolò Zaniolo and Riccardo Orsolini: “We didn’t go to the dinner with whiteboards and markers to talk about tactics. I tried to build a relationship with the players; for me, that makes all the difference. There were plenty of players who could have been here, from Zaniolo to Bernardeschi, from Orsolini to Fagioli, but I wanted to make different choices."
