With the international break of March coming to its close in the evening of Tuesday 26/3, here is the recap on the Atalantini embroiled in international commitments on the wrap-up day. Going in order of appearance, Matteo Ruggeri started for Italy and played the whole 90 minutes of the Azzurrini‘s 1-1 draw against Turkey. Moving on to Marten de Roon and Mario Pašalić, while the Oranje midfielder was subbed in on 75 minutes in The Netherlands’ away 2-1 setback suffered against Germany, the Croatian hit the pitch in the 60th minute of the ACUD Cup final – which saw the Kockasti impose themselves 4-2.
Lastly, closing off with the second “Atalantino derby” of the international break – namely, the friendly match-up between Nigeria and Mali – while both Nerazzurri had a place in the game, they didn’t cross path on the pitch: while El Bilal Touré, who broke the deadlock for Mali, played the opening 69 minutes of the game, Lookman was instead subbed in on 73 minutes.
