Slovakia guy..you don’t need to test Skriniar anymore…just test some other guys for your friendlies..
is to gain rhythm
Only Italy and Croatia have real, tough , World Cup qualifying games.
The rest are all lighter friendlies.
Hopefully our players won’t play too much.
Both Brozo and Perisic will play for Croatia , possible starting spot for Brozo too.
Perisic starts 100%.
For Italy only Candreva is a very probable starter, pretty much 100%.
BUT..they say Ventura is thinking of starting also D’ Ambrosio, to take advantage of the Candreva-D’Ambro natural chemistry on that right flank.
I hope not,even thou D’ Ambro would be very happy.
Gaglia and Eder instead are almost for sure only bench warmers, with little chance to come in.
The rest are all friendlies ,so God knows how much are the coaches going to utilize our players,
i wonder when skriniar travels aboard to play for his national team will he still bring bellotti there in his pocket?
