I am surprised Pinamonti didn't get a call up. He is maybe less talented than Scamacca but definitely has more courage and presence on the field.

Mancini moans because Italy lacks goalscorers but if we look at the table of the serie A goalscorers there are two guys who have scored 9 and 7 goals respectively and Mancini has left them both out of the list. One, Zaccagni, is left out because he did what many other players did (pretended to be injured when called up, in previous games). The other one, Orsolini, is simply ignored. They are not center forwards but we do not necessarily need a center forward who scores, when other players can.
