New Italy BORN! 🇮🇹 | Kayode Masterclass + France Preview! 🚨

🇮🇹 THE NEW ITALY IS BORN!

Nima Tavallaey and Carlo Garganese run a massive tactical review of the international break as Roberto Mancini’s 2.0 Azzurri era kicks into high gear following a dominant dismantling of Vincenzo Montella's Turkey! The guys dive deep into why Italy is finally enjoyable to watch again, breaking down the perfect tactical blend of immense physicality and technical ability spearheaded by Michael Kayode's dream debut, Giacomo Raspadori's skills, and Sandro Tonali's midfield control. They analyze Alessandro Bastoni’s massive redemption arc alongside Giorgio Scalvini, and ask the ultimate question: is it finally time to move on and permanently axe veterans like Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Bryan Cristante, Gianluca Mancini, Federico Dimarco, and Nicolò Barella? Plus, they look ahead to the high-stakes France vs. Italy Nations League showdown to debate who must start. Finally, they crown the Esposito brothers historic start as the "Baggio of the Week," expose the dumb institutional scandal that could bizarrely lead to Mancini being removed, and destroy John Terry's epic "Premface" failure!
