Roberto Mancini praised Italy's performance in their 4-1 victory over Turkiye, highlighting Giacomo Raspadori's contribution despite a knock at half-time. The coach felt the pressure following a 2-0 loss to Belgium earlier in the week and implemented eight changes to the starting lineup, which proved beneficial. Italy dominated the first half, scoring three goals, including from Alessandro Bastoni, Davide Frattesi, and Kayode.
Francesco Pio Esposito sealed the win with a goal after a Turkish comeback. Mancini was content with the performance, noting that the team pushed up, kept the ball, and moved it around well. The team will now face France in Paris on October 2, aiming to improve upon their strong first half display.
