TIRRENIA (ITALPRESS) – The Italian Under-21 Team is approaching the match with Poland, valid for qualification for European category, scheduled in Albania and Serbia in June 2027. From the center of Olympic preparation of Tirrenia, four days from the match (Friday 14 November at 16.00 in Stettino) spoke the ct of the blue: “The boys are already at the third call and are always the same. They come here with desire and the right spirit. Being part of the Weight 21 makes them proud and is the most important thing.” In the E Group the race in the first place is a two-way challenge between Poland and Italy, able to win up to now 4 wins in 4 races (12 points). Behind them, follow Montenegro (6), Sweden and North Macedonia (3), Armenia (0). “Poland? Easy games no longer exist – continues the ct on the Friday match – and it is not easy to understand the degree of difficulty of a challenge. We know they’re at equal points with us and they’ve proven to be one of the best. I’m pretty confident because I know the kids know they have to give the best of them. We know about the difficulties we might encounter, but we try to make a full result.”.
Two news in the group: the attacker of the Atalanta Under 23 Dominic Vavassori, last season 6 appearances and 1 goal in Under 20, and the defender of Frosinone Gabriele Calvani, at the first absolute call in a National; between the 25 summoned, there is also the defender of Fiorentina Pietro Comuzzo, on the return after the unavailableness that had forced him to leave the group in September. “Comuzzo’s return? He had a health problem and I didn’t summon him for last split. Then we clarified with him and the prosecutor and he was summoned. Exclusion of Marianucci? A technical choice, I didn’t like his performance. Travers, Calvani and Zeroli are boys who have always been monitored. We put them on the list also because they had already been called the past times. I am convinced that they will do well”, Baldini’s explanations on the November window.
“In the last month, several boys have done more minutes, such as Idrissi and Bartesaghi. Camarda has its own space and Cherubini makes minutes in Serie B. Most of them manage to have space and to put in their legs a good minutage. I think we can set up a good team,” adds the blue coach on the minutage accumulated by his players in their club teams.
Italy Under 21 that will be in Tirrenia until Wednesday. Thursday the transfer to Stettino with return to Pisa immediately after the race; Monday the departure to Podgorica to face Montenegro (Tuesday 18 November at 18.30 in Niksic). Friday will end the round and Tuesday will resume with the first day of return. In 2026 the final rush: two meetings in March and two in October, the last of which could be decisive for the first place, on October 5, Italy-Poland.
