"Davide Bartesaghi has caught the attention of Italy manager and Milan legend Gennaro Gattuso, who's in the process of deciding the Azzurri squad for the play-offs in March. Bartesaghi's breakthrough has certainly been commendable this season, taking the starting spot from Pervis Estupinan and impressing a lot with his performances. The brace against Sassuolo was the big exclamation mark, but yesterday, he also did well as a centre-back in Cagliari-Milan."
"It's a good thing that he did, as according to Nico Schira, Gattuso sent a scout to watch the game at Unipol Domus. More specifically, the Italy manager wanted more information on Bartesaghi, Marco Palestra, and Elia Caprile. Bartesaghi and Palestra are the same age (20) and play on opposite sides of the defence, while Caprile is 24 years old. The Cagliari goalkeeper couldn't do much about Leao's goal, but the right-back impressed in his duels with the aforementioned Estupinan."
Davide Bartesaghi has established himself as Milan's starter, taking the spot from Pervis Estupinan and scoring a brace against Sassuolo. He also performed effectively as a centre-back in the Cagliari-Milan match. Italy manager Gennaro Gattuso monitored his performance, sending a scout to Unipol Domus to assess Bartesaghi, Marco Palestra and Elia Caprile. Bartesaghi and Palestra are both 20 and occupy opposite full-back sides, while Caprile is 24. The Cagliari goalkeeper could not prevent Leao's goal, while the right-back held well in duels with Estupinan. Italy will play Northern Ireland and Bosnia or Wales in March play-offs. Bartesaghi aims to secure a national team call-up.
