Meet the Squad: A Brief Introduction to Italy's European Championship Team
The Italian national football team has a long and storied history, with four World Cup titles and one European Championship already under their belt. As they head into the 2021 European Championship, they'll be looking to add to their impressive record. Here's an introduction to some of the key members of the team:
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Goalkeeper
At just 22 years of age, Donnarumma is already considered one of the top goalkeepers in the world. He's been playing for AC Milan since he was 16 and has already made over 200 appearances for the club. His height (6'5") gives him an advantage when it comes to dealing with high balls and his quick reflexes make him a nightmare for opposition strikers.
Giacomo Bonaventura, Midfielder
Bonaventura is a versatile midfielder who can play both centrally and out wide. He's been a regular in the Serie A for over a decade now, having played for Atalanta, AC Milan, and most recently, Fiorentina. He's known for his excellent passing ability and his tendency to pop up with crucial goals at important moments.
Ciro Immobile, Forward
Immobile is one of the most deadly strikers in European football. He's been a consistent goal scorer for Lazio in the Serie A for the past few seasons and won the Golden Boot in the league in 2019. His combination of pace, power, and clinical finishing make him a constant threat to opposition defences.
These are just a few of the many talented players that make up the Italian national team. With a mix of youth and experience, they'll be hoping to go all the way in the 2021 European Championship.
The Squad: Italy's Players at the European Championship
Italy has always been a country known for producing top-quality footballers and their squad for the 2021 European Championship is no exception. Here's a closer look at the players that will be representing the Azzurri:
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Goalkeeper
A.C. Milan's number one goalkeeper has been in excellent form this season, helping his team to a second-place finish in Serie A. He's already got over 20 caps for the national team and will be a key player in their quest for European glory.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Defender
The Napoli right-back has had an impressive season, both domestically and in Europe. He's known for his ability to get forward and contribute to attacking moves, while also being rock-solid in defence. His versatility means he can play on either side of the back four.
Marcus Rashford, Forward
Okay, he's not actually Italian, but he's of Italian descent and has been included in the squad as one of their naturalised players. Known for his lightning pace and clinical finishing, Rashford will be looking to make an impact off the bench for Italy.
Federico Chiesa, Midfielder/Forward
Chiesa is one of the most exciting young prospects in Italian football. He's been in electrifying form for Fiorentina this season and has a knack for coming up with important goals in big matches. He can play on either wing or as a central attacking midfielder.
These are just a few of the players that Italy will be relying on to bring them success at the European Championship. With a mix of experience and youth in their squad, they'll be hoping to go all the way and add another trophy to their already impressive collection.
