With Udinese's win in this round, Udinese got the crucial three points on the road to relegation. At the same time, Udinese's victory also brought good news to the Italian national team. 8 goals and 3 assists! The 2-metre striker shines in Serie A, galloping to the aid of the Italian team, and the hope of defending the European Cup has been greatly increased.
Italy are the reigning champions of the European Championships, joining Spain, Croatia and Albania. Although the Italian team's qualifying situation is not optimistic, the Italian team should never be underestimated, not to mention that the Italian team has a "secret weapon". The 23-year-old is 2.01m tall and has been in excellent form in Serie A this season and has the potential to become a strong centre-forward for Italy.
In the match between Udinese and Lecce, Luca headed home in a cross in the 36th minute, and Luca helped Udinese knock on the door of victory, and finally helped Udinese to their first victory since Cannavaro took charge. In Serie A this season, Luca has made 35 appearances for Udinese, 28 starts, scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists, Luca is the player with the most goals in the league for Udinese, the first most assists, and his total of 9 goals this season is also the most in the team.
Luca is not only a direct goalkeeper, but also a fulcrum, and has finished sixth in Serie A this season. Luca is the type of player who is a threat in the box, and he has too much of a role in wide crosses and set-pieces.
The coach of the Italian team is Serie A champion coach Spalletti, and he still has a lot of coaching ideas. The Italian team is not bad in the lineup, with Chiesa Jr., Barella, Bastoni and other famous players, plus Luca's help, it will not be a surprise for the Italian team to win the European Championship.
