He said, “(I’ve got one) only once before, with Empoli Primavera against SPAL in 2021, the season after winning the championship.
“It’s a goal for every young Italian kid (to play for your country). There’s time, I’ll continue to work hard and we’ll see what comes of it.”
Baldanzi also rejected claims of a lack of midfield talent in the senior Azzurri squad.
He added, “That’s not true, there are lots of strong players like (Samuele) Ricci, (Sandro) Tonali and (Davide) Frattesi.”
