New Napoli Coach Rafa Benitez sent a message of praise for Azzurrini hero Lorenzo Insigne. “You are playing at another level.”

Insigne, a Neapolitan born and bred, was often used as a substitute by Walter Mazzarri this term, but has become a stand-out figure in Italy’s Under-21 side, leading them to the European Championship Final against Spain.

“Congratulations to Lorenzo Insigne, one of the key players in the Italian Under-21 national team,” read the statement on Benitez’s official website.

“You are now playing at another level. Hopefully you can maintain this momentum in the upcoming season and I look forward to meeting up with you in a few weeks. Regards.”

The message was also posted in Italian so he and his fans could enjoy the praise to the full.

Insigne turned 22 this month and scored the winning goal against England in the group phase.

Maybe Rafa can sell him to us cheap or part exchange for Lucas.

Good old Rafa, tells it like it is. "You're playing against kids, let's see how you do against the big boys"

Borini's goal reminded me of a goal Owen would have scored back in the day.

 

[Silver Sean]

Tsk. Doing the 'backing Suarez' celebration again. When will the red top hacks' message get through to these idiots?

 

[gkmacca]

Final on now, Spain v Italy - well worth watching. 1-1 after only 10 minutes.

 

[livvy145]

Lovely taken goal by Immobile

 

[LeTallecWiz]

1st half hat trick by Thiago ... 3-1 Spain. WOW

 

[keniget]

Bah! Didn't realize this was on.

Links to the goals?

 

[King Binny]

I can see the Thiago to Man Utd links intensifying.

 

[Whirly]

Interestingly, Thiago was born in Italy

 

[King Binny]

Bah! Didn't realize this was on.

[Fabio]

Fuck everyone who disagrees

"Spain U-21 now a magnificent 26 competitive games unbeaten with 24 wins."

Looking at the animated clips - the Italian centrebacks screwed up badly for Spain's first two goals - caught napping while Thiago ploughed through the centre unmolested for the first, and totally misjudged the cross for Spain's second. Reminds me of our defending last season.

ploughed is harsh - more like waltzed.

Spain u21s were too much! Thiago wants the ball under pressure,he demands it anywhere. We need to produce that kind of mentality in our kids

 

[gkmacca]

Good old Rio, telling someone else to change things. He's an enabler.

 

[FreshRed]

Hoping Borini comes back full of confidence. Two good goals in two games against good competition.
