ROME: Roberto Mancini tinkered with the components of his team on Sunday but still the Azzurri purred like a highly-tuned Italian sports car into the business end of Euro 2020.
Matteo Pessina, another of the eight changes, scored the goal, providing a deft finish to a free kick played in by Paris St Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, making his first start of the tournament after recovering from injury.Verratti oozed class and will now come into the reckoning for the knockout phase, which Mancini described as like a different tournament after Sunday's win - Italy's 11th in a row without conceding a goal.
Such was Mancini's comfort that he even sent on reserve goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu for the last five minutes, clearly wanting to make every squad member feel he has a role to play.
