Key points
- Roberto Mancini appeals for patience in the new era.

- Mancini insists patience is needed for new Italy era.
“I expect a good performance against Turkey, with improvement in pressing and aggression,” Mancini said. "We haven't had time to introduce new elements, so I don't expect any big changes. The most important thing is that we have time to build a team that can be competitive."
A similar message was delivered by Sandro Tonali, who was part of the team that failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup. The new Azzurri team, with debutants such as Michael Kayode, Alessandro Romano, Issa Doumbia, Alessandro Vergara and Mohamed Ali Zom, needs time to develop.
"The most important thing now is to react, which we can do in a few days. The group is healthy, with many young players," Tonali said. "It's difficult to have everything at once, we don't have a star player. Time is needed for us to work together and enjoy the game."
After the match against Turkey, the Italians will face France, and they will end the international break with a home match against Vincenzo Montella's team. Due to the tight schedule, Mancini announced several changes to the squad, emphasizing that it is impossible to rely on one player for four matches in such a short time.
What next
The Italian national team will face Turkey at the Matla Stadyumu Ataturk Spor Kompliki, which will be a key test for Mancini's new approach. The coach hopes to improve the results and play better, which may restore faith in the team. In the face of the tight schedule of the Nations League, each subsequent game will be important for the further development of the team.
