Luciano Spalletti says Nicolò Barella and Lorenzo Pellegrini are the two candidates to be Italy’s No.10 at Euro 2024.
The Azzurri CT held a pre-match press conference on Monday on the eve of an international friendly against Turkey.
Italy players met five Italian legends, Roberto Baggio, Alessandro Del Piero, Gianni Rivera, Giancarlo Antognoni and Francesco Totti in the morning. They are five legendary No.10 of the Azzurri, so Spalletti was asked who would wear the most iconic jersey in Germany.
“Pellegrini can be a No.10, but Barella can be a No. 10 too. Because he makes those surprising moves that opponents don’t expect. He sees things where others see walls. Then, the quality of the team must make a difference, and we want to become a united team that breathes the same air and emotion,” Spalletti replied.
