Italy’s Main Penalty Taker for Euro 2024 Qualification – Jorginho Out?

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Leverkusen –

Jorginho is certain to lose his position as the main penalty taker Italian national teamfollowing his recent bad record.

Jorginho failed to execute a penalty when Italy won 5-2 over North Macedonia in the follow-up 2024 European Cup Qualification, Saturday (18/11). Jorginho’s 12th kick was too weak so the direction was read by the opposing goalkeeper.

As a result, Jorginho failed again for four consecutive opportunities from the spot with Gli Azzurri. This certainly sets a bad precedent for Jorginho, who actually has a good penalty record.

These bad statistics made Italian coach Luciano Spalletti start to think twice about entrusting Jorginho as his team’s first penalty taker.

Considering that Italy has a crucial match against Ukraine on the eighth matchday of Euro 2024 Qualification, Tuesday (21/2/2023) early morning WIB, Spalletti has decided that Jorginho will no longer carry out that task.

Spalletti will look for another player who he feels is qualified to be Italy’s main penalty taker.

“We still have other players who can be the executors. It would be a mistake of course to force Jorginho to take another penalty,” said Spalletti as quoted by Football Italia.

Matteo Politano is said to be a strong candidate to succeed Jorginho, because he scored nine goals from the 12 penalties taken. Meanwhile, Giacomo Raspadori, who has recently been a starter, has nine penalty goals from 13 opportunities.

Federico Dimarco, who plays as a defender, also scored nine penalty goals from 12 attempts. The only player who has a perfect penalty record is Gianluca Scamacca who successfully converted all six penalties he received.

So, who is your main penalty taker, Spalletti?

After BeansAlso Tonali and Zaniolo. The investigation by the Turin Public Prosecutor’s Office into illicit betting involves two other footballers, both national players. The rumors had been circulating for hours when the news arrived, confirmed by the Football Federation, of the notification of the investigation – in fact thewarranty notice – directly to Coverciano. Shortly before, Fabrizio Corona had been heard as an informed person on the facts at the police station in Milan on the recommendation of the Turin prosecutor’s office, and therefore as part of the same investigation that involved the Juventus footballer Fagioli. At this point the opening of the sports investigation by the FIGC Prosecutor’s Office is also obvious for them.

With the risks foreseen by thearticle 24, which prohibits members from betting not only on illegal sites – which is a condition for a criminal offense – but on any type of platform, if it concerns competitions of their own discipline, and therefore not necessarily on their own team’s matches. If the ordinary crime is normally resolved with the payment of a fine, in the sporting field the violation of article 24 entails “disqualification of no less than three years and a fine of no less than 25,000 euros”.

In that case the extension of the contract is obvious sanction within UEFA and FIFA and therefore, as in the Paratici case, also in the Premier League, where Zaniolo and Tonali play. All of this, of course, in the event that the accusations were confirmed. The first answers will come for Fagioli, whose case has been on the table of the federal prosecutor’s office since the beginning of September. Unless extended, the investigations should be completed by the beginning of November.
