Antonio Vergara made his debut with the Italian national team. As reported by TuttoNapoli.net, the player came on in the 62nd minute of France-Italy, a Nations League match, taking the place of another Neapolitan deployed in the attacking trio chosen by head coach Mancini.
The Match
The clash between Zidane's France and Mancini's Italy is the third Nations League game for the Azzurri, following defeat to Belgium and a victory in Turkey, as Il Napolista writes. Starting for Italy, Donnarumma in goal, the defense with Kayode, Scalvini, Bastoni and Calafiori, the midfield with Frattesi (preferred to Barella), Tonali and Fagioli, and the attack entrusted to Kean and brothers Esposito, Pio and Sebastiano.
Vergara's Debut
Mancini chose to give Vergara playing time as the match progressed, inserting him in the advanced area. A debut that comes in a prestigious match against one of the continental football's big sides.
