On June 4th, Beijing time, Italy will face Turkey in a friendly match as part of their Euro preparation. Ahead of the game, coach Spalletti has summoned five iconic Italian No. 10 legends to be present and motivate the defending champions.
The attendees include Baggio, Pirlo, Totti, Antonioni, and Rivera, known collectively as the “Magnificent Five.” Addressing the players, Baggio said, “When you wear the national team jersey, your greatest adversary is responsibility: either we confront it or we fail. I hope you enjoy giving all the joy that comes from within.”
Spalletti remarked, “Gianluigi Buffon is the sixth No. 10 here today, but with the difference that you are a goalkeeper. For me, this event is very important, and I hope you understand its significance too.”
In this Euro tournament, Italy finds itself in Group B, dubbed the “Group of Death,” alongside Spain, Croatia, and Albania.
