Roberto Mancini, the coach of the Italy national team, has stated that facing Türkiye will not be easy, noting that the team will make some changes compared to the match against France. He said: "In Türkiye, we were very solid, and tomorrow everything depends on us, but it won't be easy. We will change a bit more from the France match, Kane is unavailable and we will let him leave tonight, while Scamacca can play."


Roberto Mancini spoke about the importance of giving young players confidence, explaining: "The important thing for us is to give the young players solidity and belief in themselves. It still needs some time, but we are managing that. If the young player has the qualities, I think he should be given the opportunity, as this is the way he can develop." He also stressed the need to regain the spirit of the group and enjoy being together before thinking about results.


Italian coach Nicolo Barella praised him, confirming that he is still capable of contributing a lot to the national team. He said: "Barella is still young and can represent a lot for the national team. In terms of goals, he needs to improve and I agree with him."


"I have a weakness for him, he was very young when I called him up, then there are all the players who won the European Championship. He can still give a lot to the team."


Mancini revealed his confidence in some young talents, stating: "We believe that Romano can be a very important player for the future because he has tremendous qualities. Vergara as well, both are young players who can be important for us."


He continued his talk about Samuel Cambiaghi: "I have always loved him as a player, even when he was playing for FC Empoli as a child, because I thought he could become a great winger. We are working on that and I believe he can be a very important player for the national team."


Roberto Mancini has pointed out the fatigue that players are suffering from due to the pressure of matches, saying: "Four very close matches are difficult and extremely exhausting, especially with the travel between them, and recovery is not easy. Tomorrow we will change something, otherwise it will be impossible."


He concluded by emphasizing the importance of trust, saying: "Fans must trust us, and we must trust ourselves. This is the essence of football: the hope of a comeback and joy."
