Zaniolo forward Domenico Berardi is expect to replace Federico Chiesa in the World Cup play-offs in March.

Roberto Mancini, Italy national team coach Chiesa has to look for a replacement for the 2022 World Cup play-offs against North Macedonia in the semi-finals on March 24. Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo was originally speculate by the Italian media as a potential replacement for Chiesa. Because of his excellent form at the club this season. But it seems that this time, Berardy has become a more likely option. Because of the form of play that is consistent and consistent this season ufabet.

Berardi only provided one assist in Sassuolo’s 2-0 victory over Inter at San Siro on Sunday. This makes the 27-year-old half-wing forward become the first player in Europe to score double-digit goals and assists in the 2021-22 season, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists equally. Italy will play in the 2022 World Cup play-offs against North Macedonia in the semi-finals on March 24. With a win will advance to the final against the winner of Portugal or Turkey go.

This means that Zaniolo may have a chance to play for the Azzurri only if Mancini switches to a 4-2-3-1 formation or in place of Marco Verratti or Nicolò Barella in a three-man midfield. As of today, there may not be a better player than Berardi to replace Chiesa in March.
