Mateo Retegui also wants to take the national team
After a sparkling start to the season with Atalanta, Mateo Retegui è is ready to take the national team as well. The Italo-Argentine striker, who scored a hat-trick and an assist in the Dea team's resounding 5-1 thrashing of Genoa, is currently confirmed as Serie A's top scorer at 7 goals in 7 matches, equaling Marcus Thuram.
In short, a devastating impact with the Nerazzurri jersey for the former Genoa bomber, who so far is not making Gianluca Scamacca, who was hit by a serious injury to the cruciate in his left knee at the beginning of August, regret anything. Retegui now hopes to repeat himself with Italy in the Nations League as well.
The Azzurri, with full points in Group 2, will be engaged Thursday, Oct. 10 at 8:45 p.m. against Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and Monday, Oct. 14 at the same time against Israel, already beaten 2-1 in the first leg, at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine.
In 2024 Retegui made 10 appearances in the Azzurri jersey, only four of which were as a starter, with two goals and one assist to his credit. Now the Italian league’s top scorer is aiming to take the starting role in the national team as well, hoping to do so to the tune of goals as he did in Bergamo.
