Fabio Capello singled out Italy’s midfield for praise after Sunday’s 1-0 win at Poland. “They gave strength and balance to the whole team.”
Jorginho, Marco Verratti and Nicolo Barella stuck together for the trip to Poland and Roberto Mancini’s selections were warranted in the eyes of Capello.
“Italy had a good game and I really liked what I saw,” the former Milan, Roma and Juventus boss told Radio Anch’io Sport.

“Italy had a good game and I really liked what I saw,” the former Milan, Roma and Juventus boss told Radio Anch’io Sport.
“Something good had already been seen in the last game. The Azzurri didn’t feel under pressure and expressed themselves in the best possible way.
“The midfield gave strength and balance to the whole team. Maybe in the box we were just short, so we can look for more presence in there going forward.
“Mancini’s choices have borne fruit. Failure to use Immobile? The Coach knows his players and adopts a style based on the players he has.
“Yesterday he decided not to use Immobile, but I wouldn’t discuss this choice. Immobile is someone who can also play from the outset, but Mancini made winning choices last night.”
