Euro 2024, Italy: Vieri gives advice to Scamacca
Scamacca è by now, the striker of choice for CT Spalletti
.
Italy is running fast and determined toward Saturday's opener with Albania. CT Spalletti still has to resolve some formation doubts. There are, however, already some certainties. For example, in attack he will have a starting jersey Scamacca, who has now become the "9" par excellence of the Azzurri team, also thanks to a stunning end of season with Atalanta.
Vieri, Italy's former center forward, recognizes the merits of Scamacca who, in terms of physical structure and power in shooting, also reminds a little of him: "He's complete: good technically, easy to kick, great shot with both feet, strong in the head even if he can improve. As in playing back to goal: he canò work more with his hands and arms to lean on defenders and make space", his words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Clear advice to which Vieri adds his own personal reflection: "Except in the final part of the season, he did less than he could. One soì must do all year what he has done in the last three months, that is, almost always goals".
Vieri è is convinced that Scamacca is ideal for this national team ("He's good at seeing his teammates, at smarcarli"). Now the ball passes to Scamacca. He is getting ready to play the most important game of his national team career (the one with Albania) with only one goal in 16 total games in the Azzurri but, this Scamacca è of a whole different texture than in the past.
