Italy's head coach Roberto Mancini has granted an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport and talked about Tommaso Mancini who is reportedly close to joining AC Milan. Here are his words:
"He is good and has physical strength. I wanted to take him to an internship already, but he had commitments with the club. We will follow him more than before."
On the Scudetto fight, AC Milan and Rafael Leao:
"Milan, Inter and Juve in front of everyone. Then I see Roma and Napoli. I believe that the enthusiasm of the young players can last. Pioli gave the team a safe game. The summer sent comforting signals, but real football has yet to begin. Leao? His real strength is the room for improvement. He can still grow a lot and is already doing a lot. Just as Tonali can grow. For both, it will have to be the season of definitive maturity."
Roberto Mancini on Charles De Ketelaere:
"He has important, athletic and technical qualities. He is young and he needs prudence, but he lacks nothing to become a top player."
