Time To Axe The Veterans? 🛑 | Drop Di Lorenzo & Dimarco? 🤬

🛑 TIME TO AXE THE VETERANS? Nima Tavallaey and Carlo Garganese lock horns in a massive tactical debate following the international fixtures against Turkey and Belgium, questioning which established Italy stars must be ruthlessly dropped from the squad to protect the future of the Azzurri layout! The guys dive straight into why Giovanni Di Lorenzo MUST be permanently dropped from the starting XI.

They break down why Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini only seem to look functional within a specific club system, and ask a massive question: should Federico Dimarco be axed from the squad completely if he simply does not suit a back-four layout?
