Spalletti: Italy has 5 top players. Pio’s characteristics are similar to Vieri

Former Italian national team coach Spalletti attended the Trento Sports Festival and expressed his views on the current Azzurri.

In an interview with the media, Spalletti said: "In my opinion, Italy has everything. Even if we can only choose from a limited number of players, we have 25 players who can form a very competitive team. Donnarumma is a top player , the same goes for Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Tonali and Barella. Pio Esposito makes you believe that he will have a real presence in the penalty area. "

"Last night, Pio Esposito scored an incredible goal. Whether it is coordination or shooting method, he is very good. Maybe Vieri is like this. No matter what kind of ball you pass to him, he can handle it cleanly, and the same is true for Pio. I watched him play for Spezia several times last season. "

"Italy will definitely go to the World Cup because of the quality of the players and the fact that Gattuso has quickly found the right balance, using the two forwards when necessary. He does a great job, has a lot of solutions and this team has the potential to be very strong. "
