In his speech to reporters, Scariolo did not hide that the younger “much is missing” play an important role in the choice.
“I am pleased with their performance in training, the matches show that they still have a lot to do, let’s hope they meet the deadlines at the speed that their importance becomes more and more important. They still have a long way to go– he explained.
Asked about Santi Yusta’s future with the national team, the Italian said that “if he continues to improve and adds a defensive tone to his game, which he is quite capable of, I see that he has a chance.”
“Players must have the ambition not to settle for an important role in their team.”. Both Santi and Carlos-Alosen know where they need to improve. I think it is in their power, in their hands to acquire that physical tone and ambition to be able to attack at a higher level,” he said.
