I am afraid Gigio, if you are not playing regularly, then you should not be called up to play for Italy. I am afraid, the Swiss goal should have been saved and its not only me that is saying this as Eraldo Pecci said the exactly same thing. He should have tried with his right hand and not his left. We cannot afford errors of this kind in the play offs. I really rate Donnarumma but only if you are match fit.
