Zaniolo Withdraws from Italy Squad for Personal Reasons

Nicolò Zaniolo has withdrawn from the Italy national team squad for personal reasons. The player will miss the UEFA Nations League matches against Belgium and France.

Alphadjo Cisse and Mattia Liberali, who received their first national team call-ups, met with the press at Coverciano. Cisse said he performs better under pressure and named Mario Balotelli as his biggest source of inspiration in wearing the Italy shirt.

Liberali, for his part, explained why Cesc Fàbregas congratulated him right away after his transfer to Como last summer.
