《米兰体育报》最新消息,10月4日,曼奇尼着手对意大利国家队进行青春化革新,此举使得国家队首发阵容的平均年龄降幅达到2岁零8个月。

The third round of the UEFA Nations League saw Italy draw 1-1 against France on the road yesterday. The Italian national team showcased remarkable performance, with an additional highlight being the average age of the starting lineup, which stood at 25 years and 22 days. In stark contrast, during the April World Cup qualifying play-off final, where Italy lost in a penalty shootout to Bosnia and Herzegovina, thereby missing out on the summer's World Cup, the starting lineup's average age was 27 years and 8 months and 19 days, nearly two years and eight months older than the current starting lineup.

观察下来,曼奇尼回归国家队教练职位以来,致力于推动意大利国家队的年轻化进程。特别值得关注的是,在曼奇尼首次执掌意大利国家队教鞭的2018年至2023年期间,他在61场比赛中仅有一场比赛的首发阵容的平均年龄低于该场比赛,这一记录发生在2022年6月14日,意大利队在客场以2-5不敌德国队,那场比赛的首发阵容的平均年龄仅为24岁9个月10天。

在意大利国家队中,皮奥·埃斯波西托,年方21,以及卡约德,22岁之龄,均肩负起至关重要的角色。随着新一代杰出年轻球员的加盟,意大利国家队的阵容将得到显著增强,未来前景愈发光明,令人满怀期待。
