Football, Baldini urges the Under-21s: ‘The boys must play freely’

Turin, 9 October (LaPresse) – The training camp in Bagno di Romagna is practically over. Tonight, the Azzurrini will have their last training session before heading to Cesena, where they will face Sweden in their third European Championship 2027 qualifying match at the Dino Manuzzi Stadium on Friday at 6.15 p.m. ‘The boys always amaze me: a month ago, I saw a strong, cohesive group, full of determination and talent,’ Baldini said at a press conference, “but in these three days, they have surpassed themselves. They have trained with great intensity, and I see a desire to be together, to train, to laugh, joke and communicate with each other. This fills my heart with joy. Matches are another story, but when they prepare like this, you have to have faith and not be afraid of anything. They are technically strong, talented, and help each other on the pitch. I see it, I notice it when they talk to each other, and it surprises me. They are very young, but already adults.”
