Former Italian coach Lippi recently gave an interview to The Milan Sport newspaper, believing inter midfielder Barrera is the current star player of the Italian team, and said that this European Championship will be a moment for Barrera to shine.
Lippi said: "Barrera is not exactly a newcomer, he has been tempered for two seasons in Inter and the Champions League, but he will be a windfall in this European Championship. ”
'His time to shine has come, I love the way he plays, fights and runs, he's our star player.'
In Italy's 4-0 win over the Czech Republic, Insigne scored a goal, and Lippi said: "Insigne has performed well against the Czech Republic, in an environment that seems tailored to him, he always has a high level of play. ”
'Once Italy got the ball, they started to storm the opponent's vacancy and Insigne was ready, both on the flank and in the centre.'
'These players know how to win, they know what they are capable of, it's not self-righteousness, it's self-esteem.
'Those two friendly matches against the top opponents were good for the team, I said that based on my own experience, but we were ready.
