⚽️ Italy beat Armenia 9-1 to provide them with a perfect finish in this European Championship qualifier. Mancini's vigorous promotion of young players in this game also received unexpected results. Although Armenia is weaker, giving newcomers a chance is indeed the wisest choice. A group of newcomers allowed Italy to score the biggest victory score in the official match of the 121-year non-friendly match. One of them shone brightly, becoming the rising future leader of the Italian team.
⚽️The 20-year-old Zaniolo has grown rapidly in this qualifier and has quickly become the hottest rising star in Italian football due to his high performance in Serie A this season. More than a year ago, after being sold to Roma by Inter Milan, Zaniolo's progress was rapid. Not only has he become the main player of Roma, but he has also quickly become popular and began to rank among the stars of Serie A. With such a performance, Mancini naturally will not miss the opportunity to vigorously promote him.
⚽️ In this game, Zaniolo showed his due level, and he quickly stepped forward to take advantage of the one-knife opportunity to break the Armenian goal just after the opening of the first half. At the age of 20, he became the youngest Roma player to score for the Italian national team, surpassing Roma's three veterans, Giannini, Totti and De Rossi.
⚽️ In the second half, Zaniolo scored a wonderful long-range shot, and he kicked out the world wave in front of the box straight to the dead corner, not only to complete the debut goal of the national team, but also scored 2 goals. In addition, in the first half he delivered 1 assist for Immobile, Zaniolo scored 2 goals and 1 assist, making 3 goals in this game!
⚽️In 5 European Cup qualifiers, Zaniolo, who has made two starts, has scored 2 goals and 1 assist, and he is still sharp in his role as a striker in Roma. Zaniolo, who dares to participate in the attack, may become the next superstar of the Italian team in the future. Players of the No. 9 and a semi-category are not uncommon in the history of the Italian team, and Roberto Baggio is a typical representative. And the tall and beautiful Zaniolo is more likely to become the successor of the famous star Totti.
⚽️ Also from the Roma team, Totti was once the soul of the Roma team and the core of the midfield in the heyday of the Italian team. In this qualifier, the Italian team fully demonstrated its good offensive ability, and the 20-year-old Zaniolo undoubtedly became the next midfield star who needed to be vigorously cultivated. His emergence added a new energy to Italian football, and he also had more room and time to grow than Totti did. Totti made his world debut at the age of 24 and shined at Euro 2000.
⚽️ And nearly 20 years later, another young player from the city of Rome is about to shine in the European Championship. Judging from the current performance, Zaniolo should not be a problem in being selected for the final squad of next year's Italian team. Receiving a big competition baptism is also a test in his growth path. He has already stood out, and now he wants to continue to grow and become an absolute superstar like Totti, thus leading Italian football to achieve a true "Renaissance". With his good skills and good looks, he also hopes to become the next popular star player in world football.
