The message was clear from Italy coach Luciano Spalletti. Put your PlayStation away and start focusing more on scoring goals. The results have been wondrous for Gianluca Scamacca. He has scored nine goals in 11 matches for Atalanta since Spalletti dropped him from the Azzurri squad in March for his video game obsession.
Atalanta’s Gianluca Scamacca scores during the Coppa Italia soccer match between Atalanta and Fiorentina at Gewiss Stadium, Wednesday, April 24, 2024, in Bergamo, Italy .

Now Scamacca is ready to fill Italy’s gaping hole at center forward just in time for Euro 2024 in Germany. He is a player who is physically and technically complete, capable of blasting powerful shots at the goal while standing still with both feet or pulling off leaping, acrobatic efforts. “But for a specific way of play, I think he is a fantastic option. A really focused player who can bring the ball down and give time to push up. He is a threat in the box. It’s a really interesting package,” Klopp added.
