After all, the Azzurri have now not conceded a goal in 11 games and limit Wales to only one goal.

Siligou’s appearance in the 89th minute meant that Mancini had now used everyone in his 26-man lineup, except for goalkeeper Alex Merret.

The game against Wales has undergone major changes, with only Donnarumma, Jorginho and Leonardo Bonucci maintaining their positions.

Mancini has always been keen to provide opportunities for every player on his team, and said after the game that he has no determined starter.

Although he is a member of the Italian team, he still missed the fact that the Italian 90, which may be the motivation behind his replacement of Sirigu, this is his biggest regret.

Mancini even hoped to hand over playing time to his substitute goalkeeper, which also won the applause of the fans.

After the victory over Wales, Mancini said: “The players are very smart, they want to win every game, and their mentality is very good.

“For this reason, I am also very happy because we changed eight players and we played a very good game.”

“Identity remains the same, I think it’s important. I said that changing some players should not change anything, because everyone knows what they have to do, and the product will not change.

“Today they have proven that they are all starters. This is a game we want to win. Even if it may not be needed, success is a matter of mentality. It is not easy.”
