Tonali on Italy: ‘We don’t have a star player but our qualities will come out with time’

Sandro Tonali stated that Italy lacks a singular star player, but expressed confidence that the team's qualities will emerge over time. The remarks follow Italy's 2-0 defeat against Belgium at the Stadio Olimpico, which marked the start of Roberto Mancini's second managerial tenure with the national team.

The loss drew boos from home supporters, which Mancini reportedly advised the squad to accept and understand. Mancini confirmed plans to rotate his lineup ahead of their upcoming Nations League match against Turkey in Bursa, while Tonali also faces scrutiny amid a winless start to the Premier League season with Tottenham Hotspur.
